Like a young Colt the country was now growing fast
Passanger trains in the East were traveling a hundred miles an hour
People in the country could buy clothes by mail order
And get 'em back within two weeks
After twenty years or more the South was still mendin' its wounds from a Civil War
But with all the country's problems the Union was solid
Great American novelists and poets were comin' into own
People were expressin' their love for America in song and poem
And in South Carolina a high-toned southern gentleman
Expressed his love and admiration for him President James A Garfield in such a way
