AIR -- 'Dandy Jim of Caroline'
  
      D     G           D        A7
  Oh ev'ry day brings something new 
       D   A7      D       A7 
  The locofocoes find it [true]
  And strange events have proved to Martin 
         G        A7        D
  That doubtful things are very unsartin
  
       D                G
  But hark, the people rising say 
        D                     A7
  That he is not the man to cope with Clay
   D          7         G   B° (E7)
  Ha, ha ha, ha such a nominee 
      A7             D
  As Jimmy Polk of Tennessee?
  
  Come listen Whigs and Locos all, 
  Your kind attention here I call
  And mark the burthen of the glee
  Ex-Speaker Polk of Tennessee
  
  Polk's choice occasioned some surprise
  Good democrats rolled up their eyes
  Our candidate pray who is he?
  Why James K Polk of Tennessee?
  
  But soon their vast excitement o'er 
  They see what ne'er was seen before
  The best selection that could be
  Ex-Speaker Polk of Tennessee?
  
  Fall down before a better man
  Than even little Matty Van
  Buchanan too, must bow the knee
  To Ex-Speaker Polk of Tennessee?
  
  [Whig song ridiculing the dark horse democratic nominee, and under-estimating him in the process. Related to main accusation of whigs, 'Who in the hell is James K Polk?']
