Inr short years he'd met his everyl
He seized the whole southwest from Mexbr />Made sure the tarriffs fell
And made the English sell the Oregon territory

Havinge all this he sought no second term
But precious few have mourned the passing of
Mister James K. Polk, our eleventh president
Young Hickory, Napoleon of the Stump
