The Lyrics
the voters liked him a bit better
than that other fellow, jimmy g. blaine
he had a more impressive record
than that...tired prospect from maine
ol' grover's been chosen
and now he will command the reins
to a gal, he's proposin'
so his bach'lerhood, he'll lose
he wed frances folsom
when a bride he decided to choose
old grover has chosen
and left the others confused
he said "no money i'll loan ya"
he gave a lot of texans the blues
"no special favors, i'm providin'
or the rest will be wantin' their dues"
ol' grover's been chosen
vetoed some pensions, too
and once the railmen..liked him
till they discovered that grover blocked 'em
he thought it over and tripped them up and...
took it further...and really knocked 'em
screwed 'em over
ol' grover's been chosen
those regulations were through
by then he was a-stormin'
handed out the tariff warnings
at the term's end, the gent was through
gap was a riddle...four years in the middle
came back in '92
ol' grover's rechosen
yeah, once again he's renewed
you know he struggled in that next term
silver purchase act was stopped
he squelched the railroad strikers
angry, up and down, they hopped
lost his backers in time
the movement behind him dropped
ol' grover's been folded
ol' grover's been folded
ol' grover's been folded
ol' grover's been folded
ol' grover's been folded
william j. bryant, they choose
