Hayes

from roaming on by Camden Joy

lyrics

Are you stubborn, or just stupid, or just scared that it looks weird to collect the coins of presidents, debate the longest beard?

It was Rutherford B Hayes you know and Hayes you know be bad. He was wounded five times fighting to advance the rights of man.

He out-Bush-v.-Gored Sam Tilden in the ’76 election. The way B Hayes behaved in this deserves some condemnation.

Behind the whiskers, there were whispers from the Wormsley Hotel fixers,
in exchange for these conditions, you can have this thing of Tilden’s.

So the hero of South Mountain ended Southern Reconstruction.
Gave up hope there, kept not shaving. Gave up drinking for currency-saving.


Battled for respect in Congress. Vetoed several bills as racist.
