American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Some Things that I'd Like to See. 
The problem of life is quite hard to solve, In the world we see things that are strange; But if I had my way And could do as I please, Soon you would see quite a change; A poor man, if honest. I'd try to raise up. And rich rogues in State's prison would be; So now to-night I will sing in my song Of some things that I'd like to see-
Chorus. For if I had my way and could do as I say, Quite a change all around there would be; I'll not keep you long, and to-night in my song I'll sing of what I'd like to see. 
The political ring who plunder our land, Would not have such a soft thing, I'd treat them as a poor rogue is treated, And send them for life to Sing Sing. Now there's Jennie Cramer, that she was killed In cold blood, we all must agree; Let justice be done and her murderers hung, Is something that I'd like to see.-Chorus. 
For the rights of the ballot the ladies now shout, And female orators everywhere roam; Tis the right of a woman-at least so I think-To attend to her family at home; The ladies wear ulsters, to look like the men-And in fashions a change there should be-The ladies to dress as our grandmothers did, Is something that I'd like to see.-Chorus.
