[PROPIETOR, spoken]
Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln!
[BOOTH, spoken]
Excuse me.
[He exits. A gunshot offstage: BANG!]
[BOOTH, (echoing)]
Sic semper tyrannis!
[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
Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln!
[BOOTH, spoken]
Excuse me.
[He exits. A gunshot offstage: BANG!]
[BOOTH, (echoing)]
Sic semper tyrannis!
[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
