(Suffrage Campaign Song for California)
TUNE: "Buy a Broom."
There are five a-light before us, / In the flag flying o'er us, / There'll be six on next election -- / We bring a new star! / We are coming like the others, / Free Sisters, Free Brothers, / In the pride of our affection / For California. / CHORUS: A ballot for the Lady! / For the Home and for the Baby! / Come, vote ye for the Lady, / The Baby, the Home!
Star of Hope and Star of Beauty! / Of Freedom! Of Duty! / Star of childhood's new protection, / That rises so high! / We will work for it together / In the golden, gay weather, / And we'll have it next election, / Or we will know why. / CHORUS: A ballot for the Lady! / For the Home and for the Baby! / Come, vote ye for the Lady, / The Baby, the Home!
