[edit] Trivia/Info

  • This was a "censored" version of the song for NPR that corrected a couple of factual errors. It changed Polk's action of building to restoring an independent treasury and calls the honorable James Buchanan a "waffler" instead of a moderate.
  • Though it's not a factual correction, in this version "Oregon" is pronounced to rhyme with "gun" rather than "gone."
