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

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

[00:00:12] Shot down shot down

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

[00:00:19] Me and my brother

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:35] Shot down shot down

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:00] And she said

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

[00:01:02] Shot down shot down

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

[00:01:10] Well everybody drifted off

[00:01:11] Toward home finally

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:17] Cold lonesome ground"

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:33] Shot down shot down

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