	Men at Work
	i Roosevelt's in the White House, doing the best, McKinley in the graveyard, taking his rest, He's gone a long old time. 2  "Look a-here, little children, now don't you fret, You'll draw a pension at your papa's death." From Buffalo to Washington. 3  He said, "There's one thing that's grieved my mind, That is to die and leave my poor wife behind. I'm gone a long old time." 4 "Look a-here, you rascal, and see what you've done, You've shot my husband and I've got no gun." From Buffalo to Washington. 5  He jumped on his horse, and he tore down through Maine, Says to that horse, "You've got to outrun that train, From Buffalo to Washington." 6  Standing at the station, lookin' at the time, Number Five runnin' by at half past nine, From Buffalo to Washington. 7  Yonder comes the train running down the line, Blowing at every station, McKinley is dying, Hard times, hard times. [257]
