Lyrics
Chorus
Tammany, Tammany
Big Chief sits in his tepee
Cheering braves to victory
Tammany, Tammany
Swamp ’em swamp ’em, get the “wampum,”
Tammany
Chorus
Tammany, Tammany
Stick together at the poll
You’ll have long green wampum rolls.
Tammany, Tammany
Politicians get positions, Tammany
Chorus
Tammany, Tammany,
Get those Dagoes jobs at once
They can vote in twelve more months.
Tammany, Tammany,
Make those floaters Tammany voters
Tammany
Chorus
Tammany, Tammany,
Your policeman can’t be beat
They can sleep on any street.
Tammany, Tammany,
Dusk is creeping, they’re all sleeping
Tammany.
Chorus
Tammany, Tammany,
When a farmer’s tax is due
He puts all the blame on you.
Tammany, Tammany,
On the level you’re a devil, Tammany.
Chorus
Tammany, Tammany,
When you chloroform to kill
Don’t forget old Dave. B. Hill.
Tammany, Tammany,
Rope’em Rope’em, and we’ll dope’em, Tammany.
Chorus
Tammany, Tammany,
Cassie Chadwick leads them all
She should be in Tammany Hall.
Tammany, Tammany,
Who got rich quick? Cassie Chadwick
Tammany.
Chorus
Tammany, Tammany,
Murphy is your big Chief’s name
He’s a Rothschild just the same.
Tammany, Tammany,
Willie Hearst will do his worst to Tammany.
