Luyện nghe bài hát Mister Garfield

Me and my brother was close to the depot
When I heard the report of a
I hollered, "I wonder 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. Garfield's been down, shot down, shot down
Mr. Garfield's shot down low"

Lord, I the President was supposed to be down the depot that day
But I just wouldn't let myself 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 and I said that

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

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

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

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

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

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

That soldier boy said
Miss Lucretia Garfield was at his bedside
In the heat of the day him when he was hot

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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