Andrew Johnson Lyrics by Electric Needle Room

The Presidents of the United States of America, Vol. 2

2012

[Verse 1]
His future wife taught him how to write and read
But this was not until he was 17
Began selling clothes in the Carolinas
Eventually was governor of Tennessee
Grew up
In poverty
No trust
For those with money
Lincoln was impressed and he joined his team
After Lincoln died he was next to lead
He would then take over Reconstruction
Then angered most Republicans
But stayed true
To the Union
During
The Civil War

[Chorus]
The Radical Republicans
Thеy hate you
The Radical Republicans
Thеy hate you

[Verse 2]
Congressmen wanted the South to pay
But he would constantly get in their way
Slaves were now free but they faced Black Codes
And he rarely seemed to show much sympathy
In fact, he vetoed the first Civil Rights Bill
Republicans said "ok, that's enough"
They said he broke the Tenure of Office Act
He was the first President impeached

[Outro]
They tried
To kick him out
Sorry
It did not work
Fought for
The poor people
But not
The former slaves
Guess who? Andrew Johnson
