Verse 1

F Come all you tender Christians C Wherever you may be And likewise pay attention F To these few lines from me. I was down at the depot C To make my getaway And Providence being against me, F It proved to be too late.

Verse 2

F I tried to play off insane C But found it would not do; The people all against me, F It proved to make no show. Judge Cox he passed the sentence, C The clerk he wrote it down, On the thirtieth day of June F To die I was condemned.

Verse 3

F My name is Charles Guiteau, C My name I'll never deny, To leave my aged parents F To sorrow and to die. But little did I think C While in my youthful bloom I'd be carried to the scaffold F To meet my fatal doom.

Verse 4

F My sister came in prison C To bid her last farewell. She threw her arms around me; F She wept most bitterly. She said, "My loving brother, C Today you must die For the murder of James A Garfield F Upon the scaffold high."

Verse 5

F And now I mount the scaffold C To bid you all adieu, The hangman now is waiting, F It's a quarter after two. The black cap is o'er my face, C No longer can I see, But when I'm dead and buried, F Dear Lord, remember me.
