Hope for Ingersoll + 

Of Ingersoll we’re justly proud, + 

Though o’er it hath hung a cloud; + 

It was heavy, dark, profound, + 

Weighing o’er ten thousand pound. + 

But now the clouds do disappear, + 

And the sun is shining clear⁠— + 

Now, with pleasure, we do behold, + 

Our railroad bonds are good as gold. + 

The people now need not despair, + 

But thank our Council and our Mayor. + 
