White house blues

McKinley hollered
McKinley squalled
Doc said to McKinley
"I can't find that ball"
From Buffalo to Washington ...

Roosevelt in the White House
drinking out of a silver cup
McKinley in the graveyard
he'll never wake up
he's gone a long long time ...

yonder comes the train
she's coming down the line
blowing in every station
Mr. McKinley's a-dying
it's hard times
hard times ...

... laid in a ghetto flat
cold and numb
I heard the rats tell the bedbugs
to give the roaches some

and everybody wanna know
why I'm singing the blues
I've been around a long time
really paid my dues ...
