(ANIT-JEFF DAVIS SONG SHEET)
<b>571. ANTI-JEFFERSON DAVIS SONG SHEET </b> A great war-date printed broadside 1p. 5 1/2" x 9 7/8", published by Johnson, Philadelphia, [n.d.], entitled: "<i>JEFF DAVIS, Brought These Hard Times On Me</i>" reading, in small part: <i>"...Once I could eat my fill...and whiskey galore...with always a quarter to go on a spree...now I'm in grief, since the black hearted thief Jeff. Davis...brought these hard times unto me...may the devil admire him...may the hangman be brief when he swings that old thief...so badly I'm broke, I can't raise a smoke...I'll spit in my fist, and then I'll enlist...and...fight till I die and ne'er will I fly...may Dr. Zumblety drug him, and John Heenan plug him. The vile traitor that brought these hard times unto me...</i>". A great tongue-in-cheek songster that undoubtedly led some lads to enlist. Minor toning, else very good.<b> $100-150</b>
