It is said, at the Battle of Tippecanoe, in a place called Prophetstown That William Harrison burned Tecumseh's village to the ground Thus, a curse by the Indian leader fell upon presidents on high If elected in a year ending with a zero, in office, they will die In office, they will die Well, it just so happens that Harrison, in 1840, won The presidency, but in a month, his life would be done The next election with a zero, Lincoln won the spot Then five years later, in a theater, Abraham was shot The Curse of Tippecanoe Is it real or is it not The mysterious deaths of presidents Few answers that we've got Now, 1880, the next time that the curse would take affect President Garfield would die from a wound dirty fingers would infect Come 1900, McKinley the office, he would hold The result of a bullet, he died, as Tecumseh foretold Tecumseh foretold A score, or 20 years would pass, with Harding, now, the one And a heart attack would take his life before his term was done The year is 1940, now, President Roosevelt In five years, a deadly stroke would be the hand that he was dealt The Curse of Tippecanoe Is it real or is it not The mysterious deaths of presidents Few answers that we've got In 1960, Kennedy won the presidency But, an assassin with a rifle would end it, tragically Two decades later, Reagan, from the Hilton, he would wave Was shot and nearly died, but doctors saved him from the grave Saved him from the grave George W. Bush, the president, 2000 was the year He ended his presidency without incident or fear So, the Curse of Tippecanoe, seems there's no more to tell After 120 years, perhaps Reagan broke the spell
