Mr. Garfield Been Shot Down, Shot Down, Shot Down
Mr. Garfield Been Shot Down Low
Me And My Brother Was Down Close To The Depot
When I Heard The Report Of A Pistol
My Brother Run Out And Come Back In All Excited
And I Said, “What Was It?” And He Said
“It Was The Report Of A Pistol,” And Then He Said That
Mr. Garfield Been Shot Down, Shot Down, Shot Down
Mr. Garfield Been Shot Down Low
Lord, I Knew The President Was Supposed To Be At The Depot That Day, And
We Just Wouldn’t Believe That He Was Shot
But We’d Run Over There And There Was So Many Folks Around That
We Couldn’t See Him, But Some Lady Was Standin’ There Crying, And I Said
“Ma’am, What Was It That Happened, Ma’am?” And She Said
Mr. Garfield Been Shot Down, Shot Down, Shot Down
Mr. Garfield Been Shot Down Low
