Lyrics

[1]McKinley Hollered [2]McKinley Squalled
[3]doc said, "McKinley [4] I can't find that
[5]ball [6][7]you're bound to
[8]die in Buffa- [9]-lo
[10]in Buff- [11] -alo [12]

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

The doc came running pulling off his specs
Doc said "McKinley better cash in your checks
You're bound to dies, in Buffalo"

The train, the train, blowing down the line
Whistling every station McKinley's a dying
From Buffalo, to Washington

Fourty-four boxcars trimmed in lace
Put him in the last one so we can't see his face
From Buffalo, to Washington

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

Roosevelt's in the White House drinking out a silver cup
McKinley's in the graveyard, he'll never wake up
He's gonna be gone, 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
