Ye Bankers all
Mark well his fall
And learn by this disaster
A Borough's seat
is Bankers meat
A Countrys for his Master.

 

No. 2.   A Song

To the Tune of Taffy was a Welshman & Taffy was a Thief &c.

Old Ellison a dealer was
in Timber & in Bark
The son he is a noted Man
for dealing in the dark
And a Banking we will go will go will go
& a Banking we will go.

He sent his Brothers Bailiff Crowe
To steal Sir Joseph's Votes
But not a Tenant Crowe could find,
Would take the bankers Notes.

Joe Crow he was a Methodist
A very babe of grace,
Twas Sunday Morn when he arrivd
At good Sir Joseph's place.
