I'm Here

I'm here to lend support
I'm here to state the facts
The wealthy opposition's coming to attack
They secretly meet in rooms in the back
I'm telling you, I know it and I see it
I never could have guessed
That Delaware would fall
I should have seen it coming when Ohio stalled
The heat of the South could ruin us all
I'm telling you, I know it and I see it
Tennessee is safe for Suffrage
We have pledges that endorse what we say
Tennessee is safe for Suffrage
And we will win the day
I'm here to lend support, I'm here to state the facts
The Northern opposition's coming to attack
We'll meet toe to toe, there's no turning back
I'm telling you, I know it and I see it
My mother made me promise as her death bells tolled
That I would fight the battle and defeat their goal
To dishonor us all at their nasty old polls
I'm telling you, I know it and I see it
Tennessee won't fall for Suffrage
Their pledges will all melt away
Tennessee won't fall for Suffrage
The Cause will lose the day
Storms are brewing here in Nashville
Storms are brewing here today
I'm devoted to my work against the suffrage cause
I promise to secure our rights and change the laws
I'm smart and I'm strong
I'll rout out the snakes
I'm telling you I'll do what it takes
Tennessee won't fall for suffrage
We'll save our fair ladies from the fate
Tennessee is safe for suffrage
And we will win the day
