The Ballad of Booth - Victor Garber Someone tell the story Someone sing the song Every now and then The country Goes a little wrong Every now and then A madman's Bound to come along Doesn't stop the story Story's pretty strong Doesn't change the song Johnny booth was a handsome devil Got up in his rings and fancy silks Had him a temper but kept it level Everybody called him wilkes Why did you do it johnny Nobody agrees You who had everything What made you bring A nation to its knees Some say it was your voice had gone Some say it was booze Some say you killed a coutry john Because of bad reviews Johnny lived with a grace and glitter Kind of like the lives he lived on stage Died in a barn in pain and bitter Twenty seven years of age Why did you do it johnny Throw it all away Why did you do it boy Not just destroy The pride and joy Of illinois But all the u s a Your brother made you jealous john You couldn't fill his shoes Was that the reason tell us john Along with bad reviews Damn They're coming they'll be here any minute I need your help I've got to write this and i can't hold the pen Johnny they've found us We've got to get out of here Not till i finish this Johnny No Have you seen these papers Do you know what they're calling me A common cutthroat a hired assassin This one says i'm mad We must have been mad to think That we could kill the president and get away with it We did get away with it He was a bloody tyrant and we brought him down And i will not have history think i did it for a bag of gold Or in some kind of rabid fit Johnny we have to go No i have to make my case And i need you to take it down We don't have time Take it down An indictment Of the former president of the united states Abraham lincoln who is herein charged With the following high crimes and misdemeanors They say you're ship was sinking john One That you did ruthlessly provoke a war between the states Which cost some six hundred thousand Of my countrymen their lives two You'd started missing cues Two That you did silence your critics in the north By hurling them into prison without benefit of charge or trial three They say it wasn't lincoln john Shut up three You'd merely had a slew of bad Reviews I said shut up Booth i have fifty soldiers out here booth Give yourselves up or we'll set fire to the barn Don't shoot i'm coming out No I have given my life for one act you understand Do not let history rob me of its meaning Pass on the truth you're the only one wo can Please He said Damn you lincoln You had your way Tell'em boy With blood you drew out Of blue and gray Tell it all Tell'em till they listen He said Damn you lincoln And damn the day You threw the u out Of u s a He said Hunt me down smear my name Say i did it for the fame What i did was kill the man who killed my country Now the southland will mend Now this bloody war can end Because someone slew th tyrant Just as brutus slew the tyrant He said Damn you lincoln You righteous whore Tell'em Tell'em what he did You turned your spite into civil war Tell'em Tell'em the truth And more Tell'em boy Tell them how it happened How the end doesn't mean that it's over How surrender is not the end Tell them Hoe the country is not what it was Where there's blood in the clover How the nation can never again Be the hope that it was How the bruises may never be healed How the wounds are forever How the how we gave up the field But we still wouldn't yield How the union can never recover From that vulgar High and mighty Niggerlover Never Never never never No the country is not what it was Damn my soul if you must Let my body turn to dust Let it mingle with the ashes of the country Let them curse me to hell Leave it to history to tell What i did i did well And i did it for my country Let them cry dirty traitor They will understand it later The country is not what it was Johnny booth was a headstrong fellow Even he believed the things he said Some called him noble some said yellow What he was was off his head How could you do it johnny Calling it a cause You left a legacy Of butchery And treason we Took eagerly 404
