The Murder of President McKinley Song

Hello Community!!! Welcome to Cenapsis. You are currently watching the McKinley Assassination song.


Here's the fourth in the series of presidential assassinations, William McKinley in 1901. I tried a slightly different rhythm with this one to see if it would add some interest. I hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics:

The Panic of 1893 closed many a door
Like Leon Czolgosz’s job, a steel mill laborer
Was bitter, became an anarchist, shunned authority
By ’01, felt oppression in the hands of McKinley
Czolgosz took his pistol and the train to New York’s Buffalo
Where McKinley would attend the Pan-American Expo

The date, September 6th, McKinley stood by, shaking hands
At the Temple of Music, where in line, Czolgosz would stand
With gun, covered by handkerchief, he reached McKinley, then
He fired twice, at close range, piercing William’s abdomen
Was overpowered and beaten, then to jail, he was sent
While William was in surgery, still, unsure where the bullet went

Chorus

Left the expo hospital, to the Milburn House, was moved
Though infection was feared, McKinley seemed to improve
On the 13th, gangrene took hold, his death soon, William knew
His wife, Ida sat near, distraught, said ‘I want to go, too’
The next morning, at 2:15, William McKinley died
An autopsy followed, no bullet, was too deep inside

Nine days after William passed, Czolgosz’s trial began
He waived defense, plead guilty, but the judge changed his plan
The trial ended, Czolgosz’s fate, the electric chair
October 29th of ’01, he died there
He was buried in the prison graveyard, but not before
Acid was added to his coffin, of him, nothing more

My Mom's godchild loves these songs. She's been developing a growing interest in history, the presidents, and the assassins. I like your educational music.

Just got you on the top of my Spotify Wrapped, and I have almost every Presidents song on my Top Songs of 2023 playlist!

I've always questioned the sanity of Leon Frank Czolgosz.Just because you lost your job, that doesn't mean you have to assassinate William McKinley.

Great song! A song on the failed assassination attempts would be interesting

[thegamingwe]

Some presidents are so interesting, yet you don't know they don't exist.. amazing song as always. ❤

[christinajohnsonritter]

Thank you for the McKinley video! It is great! My eight-year-old nephew is such a huge fan of yours. Appreciate all of the hard work that goes into these videos.

I love how all your songs are about history! ❤️

[sinoiram]

the last episode of the president assassination saga and the third in historical order

[cyberscouterz]

The Saddest part is McKinley's secretary twice tried to remove his visit to the temple of music, citing security concerns, but McKinley kept putting it back on his schedule.

[eunaekim]

What a shame that all McKinley is remembered for in pop culture is the fact that his death brought in Theodore Roosevelt!

[iseeeverything]

Another great song. Also, fun fact, McKinley attempted to shake his hand, but Czolgosz slapped his hand before shooting him...also it's because of McKinley's infection that doctors decided it'd be better if Roosevelt kept his bullet instead of trying to remove his.

Good job on this video, I been meaning to learn more about this assassination, I wonder what our world was going to be like if this didn't happen.

[haileyharmon]
