B
Like a young cold the country
was now growing fast
            E
Passenger trains in the east
were traveling a hundred miles an hour
               F#
People in the country could buy
clothes by mail order
And get them back within two weeks

After twenty years or more the South
Was still mending its wounds from the civil war
But with all the country's problems
The union was solid
Red American novelists and poets
Were coming into their own

People were expressing their love
For America in song and in poem
And in South Carolina
A high tone southern gentleman
Expressed his love and admiration
For his president James
a Garfield in such a way
