Luyện nghe bài hát Mister Garfield

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

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

And I I was gonna faint when he said it
"Mr. Garfield's been shot down, shot down, down
Mr. Garfield's shot down 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 bother run out and everybody was all confused
And hollering' and running'
And I stepped up to one lady and I said that

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

Well, it looked like 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 my brother, I said, "Hey let's get on a train
And go to Big House up there 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 on up there and that big White House
And there was a boy standin' round 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 that shot Mr. Garfield"

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

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

And he said just that 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' would happens 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
'Cause I you too much"

And he that "You'll make some good man a good wife, good wife
make some man a good wife gal
Don't in single harness all your life, good gal
Don't pull in 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 changed
The flag was hangin' up the flagpole

And everybody was and standin' 'round 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 cold lonesome branch down low
Mr. Garfield's been shot low
Oh, Mr. Garfield's been shot down, down, shot down
Mr. Garfield's been down low

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