Mckinley hollered

Mckinley squalled

Doc said to Mckinley I can't find that ball

From buffalo to Washington

Roosevelt in the white house he's doing his best

Mckinley in the graveyard he's taking his rest

He's gone

A long time

Hush up little children now don't you fret

You'll draw a pension at your papa's death

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 time

Ain't but one thing that grieves my mind

That is to die and leave my poor wife behind

I'm gone a long time

Look here little children

Don't waste your breath

You'll draw a pension at your papa's death

From buffalo to Washington

Standing at the station just looking at the time

See if I could run it by half past nine

From buffalo to Washington

Came the train she's just on time

She run a thousand miles from eight o'clock till nine

From buffalo to Washington

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

Look it here you rascal you see what you've done

You've shot my husband with that Iver Johnson gun

Carry me back to Washington

Doc's on the horse

He tore down his rein

Said to that horse you've got to outrun this train

From buffalo to Washington

Doc come a running

Takes off his specs

Said Mr Mckinley better pass in your checks

You're bound to die

Bound to die
