• PA Poem (American Protective Association)Come ye sons of Uncle Sam,Come join the gallant band,Come unite with us to fight our country's foe.For our God is with the right,We will conquer by His might,And the slick and wily Jesuit must go.Noble men are in our ranks --We are not a band of cranks --We are not a lot of bigots or of fools.But, ye Roman Catholic hordes,We will buckle on our swords,If you dare to meddle with our public schools
