Luyện nghe bài hát Mister Garfield

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

He run out and back 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, 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 believe that he'd been

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

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

Well, it looked like everybody felt about as bad as I did
Everybody drift off to home
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 get on a train
And go to that Big House up there and see how the 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' round upside,

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

And I said, "Charlie done shot down a good man, good man
Charlie Guiteau shot down a good man low
Charlie Guiteau done shot down a man, good 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' he had been at the window
And he'd overheard Lucretia and Mr. Garfield talkin'
And Mr Garfield said, "Crete, honey", he called her

He said, "Crete, honey, if worse would 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
'Cause I you too much"

And he said that "You'll some good man a good wife, good wife
make 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 pull in single 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 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, shot down, down
Mr. Garfield's been shot low

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