EL MAHDI.
Yes, I am the boss of the sandy Soudin, And I hardly think a oiora competent man Can be found between Tennessee and Japan To bounce the bold British invader I'm a twelve-fiDgered, bow-legged sonof-n----gUD. I'm a prophet from way-back—a child of the sun. I'm adandy, a loh-lah, a darlia', a bun. 1 I'm a red handed ripper and raider. My followers number two million or more, And every man of 'em equal to four. They re not much for style, but they're dandies for gore— They're bad men from Keshir-el-Wadir. El Gordon I've captured, I'm happy to state j Jll Stewart has met his well-merited fates 111 butcher El Wolaeley if he'll only wait And Queen Tic. will think luck has betrayed her. So strike, shirtless sons of (he shimmering sand, One more blow for your prophet, (that,s me, understand), Disembowel the insolent infidel band I Tiviseot the infernal invader!
