- Come all you tender Christians
Wherever you may be
And likewise pay attention
To these few lines from me.
I was down at the depot
To make my getaway
And Providence being against me,
It proved to be too late.
I tried to play off insane
But found it would not do;
The people all against me,
It proved to make no show.
Judge Cox he passed the sentence,
The clerk he wrote it down,
On the thirtieth day of June
To die I was condemned.
Chorus:
My name is Charles Guiteau,
My name Ill never deny,
To leave my aged parents
To sorrow and to die.
But little did I think
While in my youthful bloom
Id be carried to the scaffold
To meet my fatal doom.
My sister came in prison
To bid her last farewell.
She threw her arms around me;
She wept most bitterly.
She said, 'My loving brother,
Today you must die
For the murder of James A. Garfield
Upon the scaffold high.'
My name is Charles Guiteau,
My name Ill never deny,
To leave my aged parents
To sorrow and to die.
But little did I think
While in my youthful bloom
Id be carried to the scaffold
To meet my fatal doom.
And now I mount the scaffold
To bid you all adieu,
The hangman now is waiting,
Its a quarter after two.
The black cap is oer my face,
No longer can I see,
But when Im dead and buried,
Dear Lord, remember me.
My name is Charles Guiteau,
My name Ill never deny,
To leave my aged parents
To sorrow and to die.
But little did I think
While in my youthful bloom
Id be carried to the scaffold
To meet my fatal doom.
