Bilingual
McKinley hollered, McKinley scrawled
Doc said, "McKinley, I can't find the ball
You're bound to die, you're bound to die"
ย
He jumped on his horse, he tore down the lane
Said to his horse, "You got to outrun that train
Buffalo to Washington"
Now, I'm a-give you your rifle, and you see what you've done
You've shot my husband with an Ira Johnson gun
I'm a-carrying you back to Washington"
ย
The doc come a-runnin', he took off his specs
Said, "Mr. McKinley, you'd better cash in your checks
You're bound to die, you're bound to die"
Now, here comes the train comin' down the line
Blowin' every station, Mr. McKinley's a-dyin'
It's hard times, it's hard times
Now, Roosevelt's in the White House, he's doin' his best
McKinley's in the graveyard, he's takin' his rest
He's gone, he's gone
