Luyện nghe bài hát Mister Garfield

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

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

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

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

Me and my bother run out there and was all confused
And hollering' and running'
And I stepped up to one lady and I said that

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

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

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

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

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

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

That soldier boy said
Lucretia Garfield was always at his bedside
In the heat of the day fannin' him he was hot

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

He said, "Crete, honey, if worse would happens to me"
He said, "You get a good man"
And she said, "Now James", she called him

She said, "James, I won't hear to now
'Cause I you too much"

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

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

Well a little while later, we come back around
And things changed
The flag was halfway up the flagpole

And everybody was cryin' and '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 that cold branch down low
Mr. Garfield's been down low
Oh, Mr. Garfield's been shot down, down, shot down
Mr. Garfield's been down low

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