Now that the APUSH exam is done and far behind,
The people and periods have slipped my mind,
But there's one great U.S. Congressman who will never go away,
It's so hard to say goodbye to Henry Clay,

He threw fits when the Brits were impressing our men,
This War Hawk said give "Give 'em Hell" in 1812,
And his Tariff of 1816 was passed to protect our trade,
It's so hard to say goodbye to Henry Clay,

And he made the Missouri Compromise to appease the free and slave states,
It's so hard to say goodbye to Henry Clay,

The Compromise of 1850 pushed civil war off for another decade,
It's so hard to say goodbye to Henry Clay,
