lyrics

JP only wanted 4 years
he made that much clear
and JP wanted 4 things
He met every goal but it really took it’s toll

And he added wanted California
Set the border up in Oregon
got the money flowing
and kept the taxes down
he was really on a roll and it really took it’s toll

one by one he checked em off
and he won a war
but war takes a toll

He went home exhausted
He had a very short retirement
103 days and then he passed away at 53
he really gave it all and it really took it’s toll
James Polk really gave it all and it really took it’s toll
