Tom T. Hall: Watergate Blues [purchase]
Not a lot to say about this one. The song pretty much tells the story. Here's a Wikipedia article if you need more info.
Oh, and here's a short bonus tune (thanks to Robert from Reno):

**UPDATE!**: Thanks to Snuh & LD, here is another great history tune about Watergate (deadicated to Spearhead X, a.k.a. Spiro Agnew):
Gil Scott-Heron: H2O Gate Blues [purchase]
Poignant *and* hilarious is tough to pull off, but Tom T does it damn near everytime. Well done.

It's a Tom T. Hall day! Thanks for these two (this post and the last).

Someone suggested this, as I do:
