I can't hear it, of course, but the line rhythms make this sound like it a 
re-write of "McKinley Blues."

Hey, Mr. McKinley, why didn't you run
Seen that man a comin' with a Johnson 41
>From Buffalo, to Washington.

Dr. Come a runnin'; took of his specs
Said, Mr. McKinley, you done cashed your checks.
>From Buffalo, to Washington.

Roosevelt's in the White House, Doin' his best
McKinley's in the graveyard, he's takin' his rest
>From Buffalo, to Washington.

Etc.

It's something Guthrie did a lot.   E.g., his song Reuben James is 
melodically the same as Wildwood Flower.   

You probably know all this ...
