lyrics

He had no formal education
Spent 40 years in the military

Zachary Taylor
Fought so many wars
Gained fame as a general
in the U.S.-Mexican War
A hero after the
Battle of Buena Vista
Never shared his politics
Before he ran for office

Independent
Mystery man
Independent
Mystery man

Old Rough and Ready
joined the Whig party
From the South
The last President
To own slaves
To preserve the Union
he said he would hang rebels
He made southerners mad when
he took a moderate stance

He died his second year in office
Of not poison but stomach flu
He was too non-political
Hey isn't that a good thing?
