[VOICE, spoken]
Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln!

[A gunshot offstage: BANG!]

[BOOTH & VOICES, spoken variously]
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

Why did you do it, Johnny?
Nobody agrees
You who had everything
What made you bring
A nation to its knees?
