March 18th of '37 up in Caldwell, N.J. Stephen Grover Cleveland came into this world that day He studied law at a lawyer's, '59, he joined the bar He paid for a replacement to fight in the Civil War Ran his law practice, County Sheriff in '71 '73, returned to law, worked hard like anyone In Buffalo, New York, he ran for mayor and won Soon, he became governor for his fighting corruption He was picked to run in '85, became president Then, Cleveland wed Frances after her parent's consent Had five children, Francis, Richard, Marion, Esther and Ruth Fought political corruption, always seeking the truth He vetoed many bills, the watchdog over Congress But, his plans to lower tariffs caused unions much distress He lost re-election, but four years later, Cleveland won The financial Panic of '93 brought fear and bank runs Grover Cleveland, president 22 and 24 A man with principles, more concerned with action than rapport He felt America resilient, could withstand the pain But his unpopular plans made him lose what he had gained Left Washington in '97 for his New Jersey home Served as trustee for Princeton U., made his opinions known On June 24, 1908, Cleveland lost the fight His last words that morning were, I've tried so hard to do right His legacy was his drive to keep Washington honest He's on the $1,000 bill, tried to fulfill his promise
