SHE was a beauty in the days
When Madison was President,
And quite coquettish in her ways, --
On conquests of the heart intent.
Grandpapa, on his right knee bent,
Wooed her in stiff, old-fashioned phrase, --
She was a beauty in the days
When Madison was President.
And when your roses where hers went
Shall go, my Rose, who date from Hayes,
I hope you'll wear her sweet content
Of whom tradition lightly says:
She was a beauty in the days
When Madison was President.
