Hard tack, come again no more

[struggle4progress]

let us close our game of poker
take our tin cups in our hand
as we all stand by the cook's tent door
as dried monies of hard crackers
are handed to each man
o! hard tack! come again no more!

tis the song, the sigh of the hungry
hard tack! hard tack! come again no more!
many days you have lingered
upon our stomachs sore.
o! hard tack! come again no more! ...
