On the banks of the sweet Enoree. Or who will shoe my babys feet. Who will glove its feet. Or who will kiss its sweet little lips When you are in a far off land. She went away and dressed herself. Most beautiful to behold. And she rode through the town. And shined like reverand gold. She hadent been gone but about tow days. Im sure it was not three. Till she began to weep she wept and moaned. She wept most bitterly. Oh is it for my gold xforx you weep xerx Or is it for my store. Or is it for your your House Carpenter. Whose face I'll see no more? Its xisx not for your gold I weep. Nor neither for your store. But it is for my sweet little babe. Whose faceIll see no more. She hadent been gone but about three days. Im surw it was not foure.

Well met,he cried For I’m just returning from the salt,salt sea,A And it’s all for the love of thee. Oh, I could have married a King’s daughter ,dear, And she would have married me, But I refused a crown of gold, And it’s all for the love of thee. If you could have married a king’s Dayghter,dear, I think you are to blame, For I have lately been married to a House arpenter, And I think he’s a fine young man. Oh,wont you leave your House Carpenter, And go along with me? I’ll take you where the grass grows green, On the banks of Sweet willowrie. If I should leave my house carpenter and go along with you And go along with you, Pray what have you to maintain me on, And keep me from slavery? I have seven ships all sailing on the sea, All sailing for dry land, One hundred and ten bold brave looking men, You may have them at your command. She went and dressed in her finest array, And slowly turned away, For she outshined the gliyyering gold, Most beautiful to behold. 8 She went and kissed her sweet little babe, She kissed it,she gave it three. Saying you stay here you dear darling little babe, And keep your Papa company. 9 They hadn’t been on ship two weeks or more, I’m sure it was not three, Until this lady was known to weep, And she wept most bitterly. 10 Oh,is it for my gold you weep, Or is it for my store, Or is it for that house carpenter, You never shall see any more? 11 It is not for your gold I weep, Neither is it for your store, But it’s for my dear darling little babe, I never shall see any more. 12 A curse, a curse to all seamen, A curse to you she cried, You have robbed me of my house carpenter, An here I shall lose my life. 13 They hadn’t been on ship three weeks or more, I’m sure it was not four, Until that ship did spring a leak, And it sank to rise no more. 14 O don’t you see them dark clouds rise As black as any crow? They’re the walls of Hell, They’re the walls of Hell and o’er them we must go!

At first I learned to hate him, and I know I’ll hate him still, He asked me to wed him, but I hardly think I will. Cho I’m sure I would not choose him if it were in my power, But he said if I refused him, he could not live an hour. Now you know the Bible teaches it is very wrong to kill, So I thought the matter over and I ‘spect I’ll marry Bill.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Faithful John Hanfield When I was a young man I courted a beauty bride, On whom I had placed my whole heart’s delight. I courted her for her love and her love I did obtain, Because she had no reason of me to complaint. But when her own parents came for to know That I was courting of their daughter so They locked her up and they kept her so severe, That I never got the sight of my love but once more. Oh, then I was determined to the window for to go, To see if my love had forgotten me or not. But when I came there she said to me and cryed, “I never will forsake you until they say I die”. “I am for a man and a man of high degree, I never will prove false to the man who once loved me, Although I am in my chambers here confined, Is that any reason that I should change my mind. Oh, then I was prepared to the wars for to go To see whether I could forget my love or not. But when I was there with my arms a shining bright, I took another thought of my own hearts delight. It was seven long years I had served my ring, Before I was freed to return home again, But when I returned home I thought of my own love I had not forgot my sweetheart, oh, no, now never should, Oh, then I was determined to her father’s house to go To see if my love had forgot me or not, But when her mother saw me she rung her hand and cried, Saying my daughter loved you dearly and for your sake she died. Oh, than I was struggling like aman that was slain, I scarce could be brought to my senses again, Crying O, O, O, O the pain that I do hear, My true love is in the grave and I long to be there. And when I was brought to my senses again I took pen and ink and wrote down the same Come all true hearted lovers, come pity, pity me, Come pity my hearts fortune and my said misery. I threw myself down all on the green grass, And lay till my body was layed to the earth, Now all true hearted lovers that passes thereby May know that is the place where John Hanfied did die.

'Twas at the big depot I thought I'd make my `scape But providence being against me I found I was too late. Chorus: My name is Charles Giteau, My name I'll never deny, `Though I leave my ancient parents In sorrow for to die, But little did they think I, While in my youthful bloom, Would be taken to the scaffold To meet my fatal doom. I tried to play off insane, I found it would not do. The people all being against me, They proved it was untrue. The judge he passed the sentence, The clerk he wrote it down. On the thirtieth day of June, I must meet my fatal doom. My sister came to see me To bid me a last goodbye. She threw her eyes around me: Dear brother, you must die For the murder of James A. Garfield The law you must abide. On the thirtieth day of June You must meet your fatal doom. And now I am at the scaffold To bid you all adieu. The hangman now is waiting, It's a quarter after two. The black is over my face, No longer can I see, But when I am dead and buried Dear Lord, remember me. Charles Gettau Charles Guitar Charles Guiteau Charles Julius Charles Julius Guiteau James A.
