White House Blues (C, 4/4)

C5---/C5---/F---/C---/G---/C---

McKinley hollered, McKinley squalled
Doc said McKinley, I can't find that - ball
You're bound to - die, In Buffa - lo, In Buffa - lo

Look here you rascal, see what you've done
You shot my husband with your Ivers-Johnson - gun
I'm taking you - back, to Washing - ton, to Washing - ton

The doc came a running pulling off his specs
Doc said "McKinley better cash in your - checks
You're bound to - die, In Buffa - lo, In Buffa - lo"

The train, the train, blowing down the line
Whistling every station McKinley's a - dying
From Buffa - lo, to Washing - ton, to Washing - ton

Forty-four boxcars trimmed in lace
Put him in the last one so we can't see his - face
From Buffa - lo, to Washing - ton, to Washing - ton

Roosevelt's in the White House doing his best
McKinley's in the graveyard taking a - rest
He's gonna be - gone, a long old - time, a long old - time

Czolgosz, Czolgoz, mighty mean man
You shot McKinley with a flower in his hand
He's gonna be gone, a long old time

Hush up you children, don't you fret
You'll draw a pension at your daddy's death
He's gonna be gone, a long old time
