Rolling swift its turbid waters, To the distant, mighty ocean, Was blockaded by the English, By Lord Packenham, the leader Of the brave and valiant English. Andrew Jackson led the columns Of Columbia, the Union; And the enemy were routed, In the South, were whipped and routed, Thus the troubles terminated, And the mighty men of valor, Who had answered to the roll-call, Who had joined the military, Laid aside the sword and musket, Put away the cap and feather, And returned to ways of quiet, To the quiet of the hearthstone. There were generals and captains, In the army and the navy, There were colonels, there were majors, There were officers and soldiers; Men who went from farm and fireside, Men who went from shop and ploughshare. All the States rose up in answer To the martial proclamation. There were Pike and Brown and Chandler, Boyd, Macomb, and Scott and Winder, Dudley, Harrison, and Hampton, Miller, Wilkinson, and Bainbridge, Hull and Perry, Jones, Decatur-- All these names adorn the record, Mark the record of the contest. And brave men from good old Garrard Rallied to their country's standard, And with spirits firm and steady, Cheerful smiles and hearts undaunted, Ready for the fitful changes, Fortune's wheel was turning for them, They put on their trusty armor, And went forth to win or perish, Went from Lancaster, Kentucky. Captain Faulkner led to battle Men and arms from Garrard county: And the muster-roll is headed, "Mounted Volunteer Militia, Rendezvoused at Newport Barracks, August, eighteen hundred thirteen." Men who number nine and sixty, In the stained and dusty archives, Men who travelled near one hundred Five and twenty miles to Newport.

Smith, and William Truelove, Are the Corporals, four in number; For the Privates, see appendix, In the chorus of my ditty. Their commander's martial title, Rose to General from Captain, When the famous State militia Held its reign in all the counties. And 'twas thus with many others, Of these veteran commanders.
