The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ohhhhhhh
Oh who has heard the great commotion, motion, motion
All the country through?
It is the ball a-rolling on
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too
And with him we'll beat Little Van, Van
Van is a used-up man
And with him we'll beat Little Van
Sure, let 'em talk about hard cider (cider, cider)
And log cabins too
'T'will only help to speed the ball
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too
And with him we'll beat Little Van, Van
Van is a used-up man
And with him we'll beat Little Van
Like the rush of mighty waters (waters, waters)
Onward it will go
And of course we'll bring you through
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too
And with him we'll beat Little Van, Van
Van is a used-up man
And with him we'll beat Little Van
