Mister Garfield - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

Mr Garfield been shot down[00:00:09]

Shot down shot down[00:00:12]

Mr Garfield been shot down low[00:00:14]

Me and my brother[00:00:19]

Was down close to the depot[00:00:20]

When I heard the report of a pistol[00:00:21]

My brother run out and come back in all excited[00:00:24]

And I said "What was it " and he said[00:00:26]

"It was the report of a pistol" and then he said[00:00:29]

"Mr Garfield been shot down[00:00:33]

Shot down shot down[00:00:35]

Mr Garfield been shot down low"[00:00:37]

Lord I knew the President[00:00:42]

Was supposed to be at the depot that day[00:00:44]

And we just wouldn't believe that he's shot[00:00:47]

But we'd run over there[00:00:49]

And there was so many folks around[00:00:51]

That we couldn't see him[00:00:52]

But some lady was standin' there cryin'[00:00:53]

And I said "Ma'am what was it that happened Ma'am "[00:00:55]

And she said[00:01:00]

"Mr Garfield been shot down[00:01:01]

Shot down shot down[00:01:02]

Mr Garfield been shot down low"[00:01:04]

Well everybody drifted off[00:01:10]

Toward home finally[00:01:11]

And they looked like they felt[00:01:13]

About as bad as I did[00:01:15]

But in a few weeks I heard[00:01:17]

That the President was still alive[00:01:18]

And I told my brother I said[00:01:20]

"Let's get on that train[00:01:22]

And go to where he's laid up hurt"[00:01:23]

Well when we got to his big house[00:01:26]

Up there I asked the fellow[00:01:28]

I said "Who was it that did it [00:01:29]

Who was it that shoot the President "[00:01:32]

And he said "It was Charlie Guiteau[00:01:33]

That shoot Mr Garfield" and I said[00:01:35]

"Charlie Guiteau done shot down[00:01:38]

A good man good man[00:01:41]

Charlie Guiteau done shot down a good man low"[00:01:43]

I heard some fellow there[00:01:49]

That had been in the house to see the President[00:01:51]

And I sidled up him to listen to what[00:01:53]

He was tellin' and he said[00:01:55]

"Mrs Lucretia Garfield was always at his side[00:01:57]

In the heat of the day fannin' him when he was hot"[00:02:01]

He said that just that day[00:02:05]

The President said to Mrs Lucretia[00:02:07]

He said "Crete honey[00:02:08]

(He called her Crete)[00:02:11]

Said "If somethin' worse happens to me[00:02:13]

After awhile you get yourself a good man"[00:02:15]

And Mrs Lucretia said "James"[00:02:18]

(She called him James)[00:02:20]

She said "I won't hear to that now"[00:02:21]

She said "I love you too much" but he said[00:02:24]

"You'll make some good man a good wife good wife[00:02:27]

You'll make some man a good good good wife"[00:02:32]

(Don't pull in single harness all your life good gal[00:02:36]

Don't pull in single harness all your life)[00:02:41]

That's what he said "Don't pull in single harness all your life"[00:02:44]

Well a few days later I come back[00:02:47]

To where the President was restin'[00:02:49]

And it seems everybody was cryin'[00:02:52]

The flag was hangin' halfway up[00:02:55]

To the flagpole in front of the house[00:02:57]

And everybody looked so sad[00:03:00]

And I asked a soldier boy there[00:03:01]

And I said "Is is is Mr Garfield "[00:03:03]

And he said "Yeah he's gone[00:03:06]

Gonna lay him in that[00:03:11]

Cold lonesome ground down low[00:03:13]

Gonna lay him in that[00:03:16]

Cold lonesome ground"[00:03:17]

Well they laid the President[00:03:20]

By that long cold branch[00:03:21]

Mr Garfield's been laid down low[00:03:24]

Mr Garfield has been shot down[00:03:29]

Mr Garfield's been shot[00:03:31]

Mr Garfield been shot down[00:03:32]

Shot down shot down[00:03:33]

Mr Garfield been shot down low[00:03:35]
