Oscar Brand - Jimmy Polk Of Tennessee lyrics

Ev'ry day brings something new The locofocoes find it true Strange events have proved to Martin Doubtful things are most unsartin Hark, the people rising say He's the man to cope with Clay Ha ha, such a nominee Jimmy Polk of Tennessee! His choice occasioned some surprise Good democrats rolled up their eyes Oh, asking, "Tell us, who is he, James K. Polk of Tennessee?" Hark, the people rising say He's the man to cope with Clay Ha ha, such a nominee Jimmy Polk of Tennessee! But soon their vast excitement o'er They see what ne'er was seen before The best selection that could be Ex-Speaker Polk of Tennessee! Hark, the people rising say He's the man to cope with Clay Ha ha, such a nominee Jimmy Polk of Tennessee! Fall down before a better man Than even little Matty Van Buchanan, too, must bow his knee To James K. Polk of Tennessee! Hark, the people rising say He's the man to cope with Clay Ha ha, such a nominee Jimmy Polk of Tennessee!
