The Blue and the Gray collided one day	A
In the future great town of Missouri	B
And if all that we hear is the truth 'twould appear	C
That they tackled each other with fury	B
	-
While the weather waxed hot they hove and they sot	D
Like the scow in the famous old story	B
And what made the fight an enjoyable sight	E
Was the fact that they fought con amore	F
	-
They as participants fought in such wise as was taught	D
As beseemed the old days of the dragons	G
When you led to the dance and defended with lance	H
The damsel you pledged in your flagons	H
	-
In their dialect way the knights of the Gray	A
Gave a flout at the buckeye bandana	I
And the buckeye came back with a gosh awful whack	J
And that's what's the matter with Hannah	I
	-
This resisted attack took the Grays all a back	J
And feeling less coltish and frisky	B
They resolved to elate the cause of their state	K
And also their persons with whisky	B
	-
Having made ample use of the treacherous juice	H
Which some folks say stings like an adder	L
They went back again at the handkerchief men	M
Who slowly got madder and madder	L
	-
You can bet it was h l in the Southern Hotel	N
And elsewhere too many to mention	O
But the worst of it all was achieved in the hall	P
Where the President held his convention	O
	-
They ripped and they hewed and they sweating imbrued	K
Volleyed and bellowed and thundered	K
There was nothing to do until these yawpers got through	Q
So the rest of us waited and wondered	K
	-
As the result of these frays it appears that the Grays	H
Who once were as chipper as daisies	H
Have changed their complexion to one of dejection	O
And at present are bluer than blazes	H
