Cat. #1231 (MFH #105) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on October 26, 1971
VERSE 1
My name is Charles Eutawa
My name, I'll never deny
I've left my aged parents
In sorrow, to die
VERSE 2
But little did I think
In my youthful bloom
That I'd be taken to th gallows
T' meet my fatal doom
VERSE 3
My Sister came to see me
To bid my last farewell
She, threw 'er arms around my neck
An' wept most bitterly
VERSE 4
She said, my darling Brother
You going to die
On th thirthteen day of June
On th scaffold high
VERSE 5
Th Judge, he read th sentence
The clerk, he wrote down
On th thirthteen day of June
I'll meet my fatal doom
VERSE 6
Come all you young men
An' listen to me awhile
For th murder of James A. Garfield
I am condemned to die
On th thirthteen day of June
Upon th scaffold high
