Everybody started drift off to home, me and my brother did too
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Then a few weeks later, I heard that the President was still alive

So I told my brother, I said
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
'Hey let's get on a train and go to that Big House up there and see how the President is'
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
'Let's go up there to where he's laid up hurt and sick we'd see him'
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
So we went on up there and that big White House and there was a soldier boy standin' round upside, outside
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And, I sidled up to him and I said to that soldier boy, I said
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
'Who was it that did it? Who was it that shot the President?'
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And he said that, 'It was Charlie Guiteau that shot Mr. Garfield' and I said
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
'Charlie Guiteau done shot down a good man, good man

ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And he said just that mornin' that he had been at the window
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And he'd overheard Miss Lucretia and Mr. Garfield talkin'
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And Mr Garfield said, 'Crete, honey', he called her Crete

The flag was hangin' halfway up the flagpole
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And everybody was cryin' and standin' 'round sad
