John Wilkes Booth was a southern man

Born of an actor in Maryland

Bound for fortune on a gas-lit stage

Bound to die at a tender age

Washington to Baltimore

He played the bills and he slept with whores
他四处巡演 纵情声色
And he burned inside with a hatred deep
内心燃烧着深沉的恨意
For the man who caused the south to weep

Young Abe Lincoln wasn't young no more

Tired old man when he won the war

And he dreamed at night of his death by the hands

Of the bitter world and a faceless man

And he saw his body in a ghastly dream

Draped in black while his widow screamed

Two silver dollars on his eyelids lay

And they said there were five and they said there were ten

Who would smile to see Mr Lincoln dead

In the name of God and Dixie in the name of God and Dixie Land

When Good Friday dawned with a fickle sun
善变阳光笼罩耶稣受难日
Then Booth declared the day had come

And the word was passed and the guns were brought
消息传开 枪械被运至
Down to Mary Sarrat's boarding house

Sealed in a note Booth named just four
密信中布斯仅点名四人
But the gallows would sway with many more

And they said there were five and they said there were ten

With a bullet in his neck and a broken leg

A patriot and his fantasy

Of redemption grace and bravery

And those who were hanged and those who spent

Their lives behind a jailer's fence

Only Booth could have proved them free

Of the taint of the conspiracy
