peter stampfel - new white house blues lyrics
[verse 1]
mckinley hollered, mckinley squalled
doc said “mckinley, i can’t find the ball
you’re bound to die, you’re bound to die”
[verse 2]
look here you rascal, see what you’ve done
you’ve shot my husband with that iver johnson gun
i’m taking you back to washington
[verse 3]
just got the word that the man who’s to blame
is the anarchist from detroit and czolgosz is his name
we’re taking him back to washington
[verse 4]
doc came running, took off his specs
said “mr mckinley, better cash in your checks
you’re bound to die, bound to die”
[verse 5]
there comes the train, ninety coaches long
runs a hundred miles from еight o’clock ’till nine
from buffalo to washington
[verse 6]
hush up little children, don’t you wail
wе’re gonna get roosevelt, could’ve been a quail
buffalo to washington
[verse 7]
roosevelt’s in the white house, doing his best
mckinley in the graveyard, taking in his rest
he’s gone, mckinley’s gone
[verse 8]
roosevelt’s in the white house drinking from a silver cup
mckinley’s in the graveyard, never wakin’ up
he’s gone, long gone
