(BALLADEER) Someone tell the story, Someone sing the song. Every now and then The country Goes a little wrong. Every now and then A madman's Bound to come along. Doesn't stop the story- Story's pretty strong. Doesn't change the song... Johnny Booth was a handsome devil, Got up in his rings and fancy silks. Had him a temper but kept it level. Everybody called him Wilkes. Why did you do it, Johnny? Nobody agrees. You who had everything, What made you bring A nation to its knees? Some say it was your voice had gone, Some say it was booze. Some say you killed a coutry, John, Because of bad reviews. Johnny lived with a grace and glitter. Kind of like the lives he lived on stage. Died in a barn in pain and bitter Twenty-seven years of age. Why did you do it, Johnny, Throw it all away? Why did you do it, boy, Not just destroy The pride and joy Of Illinois, But all the U.S.A.? Your brother made you jealous, John, You couldn't fill his shoes. Was that the reason, tell us, John- Along with bad reviews? (BOOTH) Damn! (HEROLD) They're coming! they'll be here any minute- (BOOTH) I need your help. I've got to write this and I can't hold the pen (HEROLD) Johnny, they've found us! We've got to get out of here! (BOOTH) Not till I finish this. (HEROLD) Johnny- (BOOTH) No! Have you seen these papers? Do you know what they're calling me?! A common cutthroat! A hired assassin! This one says I'm mad! (HEROLD) We must have been mad to think that we could kill the president and get away with it! (BOOTH) We did get away with it! He was a bloody tyrant and we brought him down! And I will not have history think I did it for a bag of gold or in some kind of rabid fit! (HEROLD) Johnny we have to go- (BOOTH) No! I have to make my case! And I need you to take it down! (HEROLD) We don't have time! (BOOTH) Take it down- An indictment. Of the former President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who is herein charged with the following high crimes and misdemeanors. (BALLADEER) They say you're ship was sinking, John... (BOOTH) One: That you did ruthlessly provoke a war between the States, which cost some six hundred thousand of my countrymen their lives. Two: (BALLADEER) You'd started missing cues... (BOOTH) Two: That you did silence your critics in the North, by hurling them into prison without benefit of charge or trial. Three- (BALLADEER) They say it wasn't Lincoln, John. (BOOTH) Shut up! Three- (BALLADEER) You'd merely had a slew of bad Reviews- (BOOTH) I said shut up! (VOICE) Booth! I have fifty soldiers out here Booth! Give yourselves up or we'll set fire to the barn!
