He said “Let us have peace”
Unlikely rise he had
Although he hated war
He could not escape it
Earned stripes in Mexico
Did well in the army
But he just wanted out
He drank to ease that pain
Led the North as general
In the Civil War
He would prove to everyone
That he was a great fighter
He was a great fighter
His friends and family
Made up his Cabinet
This lеd to corruption
And much incompetence
Undеr his leadership the country built the Transcontinental Railroad
But underneath the accomplishments there lingered some scandal
Justice was hard to find down South with Reconstruction
He was blamed for a bad economy and a major recession
Fifth war hero to assume
The highest office
But once he got to the top
He didn’t have a clue
He did not have a clue
A lot of things gone wrong
Were really out of his hands
After he served two terms
He thought that was enough
Stayed busy after that
But not in public office
He smoked and drank too much
Throat cancer would get him
Led the North as general
In the Civil War
He would prove to everyone
That he was a great fighter
Fifth war hero to assume
The highest office
But once he got to the top
He did not have a clue
