Luyện nghe bài hát Mister Garfield

Me and my brother was down to the depot
When I heard the report of a
I hollered, "I what was that!"

He run out and come back and he
"That was a of a pistol"

And I thought I was faint when he said it
"Mr. been shot down, shot down, shot down
Mr. Garfield's been shot low"

Lord, I knew the President was supposed to be the depot that day
But I just wouldn't let believe that he'd been shot

Me and my run out there and everybody was all confused
And hollering' and round
And I stepped up to this one lady and I that

"Ma'am what was it really that happened Ma'am?", and she that
"Mr. been shot down, shot down, shot down
Mr. Garfield's shot down low"

Well, it looked like everybody just about as bad as I did
Everybody started drift off to
Me and my did too

Then a few weeks later, I heard that the President was alive
So I my brother, I said, "Hey let's get on a train
And go to that Big House up and see how the President is"

"Let's go up there to he's laid up hurt and sick we'd see him"
So we went on up there and that big White
And was a soldier boy standin' round upside, outside

And, I sidled up to him and I said to that boy
I "Who was it that did it?
Who was it shot the President?"
And he said that, "It was Charlie Guiteau that Mr. Garfield"

And I said, "Charlie Guiteau done shot a good man, good man
Charlie Guiteau done down a good man low
Charlie Guiteau done shot down a good man, man"

That soldier boy that
Miss Garfield was always at his bedside
In the of the day fannin' him when he was hot

And he said just that mornin' that he had at the window
And he'd overheard Miss Lucretia and Mr. Garfield
And Mr said, "Crete, honey", he called her Crete

He said, "Crete, honey, if somethin' worse would to me"
He said, "You get yourself a man"
And she said, "Now James", she him James

She said, "James, I hear to that now
I love you too much"

And he said that "You'll make some man a good wife, good wife
You'll make some man a wife gal
Don't in single harness all your life, good gal
pull in single harness all your life"

That's he said, "Don't pull in single harness all your life"

Well a little while later, we come around there
And things have
The flag was hangin' halfway up the

And everybody was and standin' 'round sad
And I walked back up to soldier boy and I said
"Soldier boy, is he, is Mr Garfield?" and he said, "Yeah, gone"

Gonna lay him by cold lonesome branch down low
Mr. been shot down low
Oh, Mr. Garfield's been shot down, shot down, shot
Mr. Garfield's been down low

you heard the news?
Mr. Garfield's been shot down, shot down, shot
Mr. Garfield's been down low, Lord
