Song Lyrics: |
In 1844, the Democrats were split The 3 nominees for the presidential candidate were Martin van Buren, a former president and an abolitionist James Buchanan, a moderate Lewis Cass, a general and expansionist From Nashville came a dark horse riding up He was James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump
Austere, severe, he held few people dear His oratory filled his foes with fear The factions soon agreed He's just the man we need to bring about victory fulfill our manifest destiny and annex the land the Mexicans command And when the votes were cast, the winner was Mr. James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump
In four short years he met his every goal He seized the whole Southwest from Mexico Made sure the tariffs fell and made the English sell the Oregon Territory He built an independent treasury Having done all this, he sought no second term But precious few have mourned the passing of Mr. James K. Polk, our eleventh president Young Hickory, Napoleon of the Stump (Stavro Arrgolus) |
