The Ballad of Guiteau

I am going to the Lordy,
 I am so glad.
 I am going to the Lordy,
 I am so glad.
 I am going to the Lordy,
 Glory Hallelujah!
 Glory Hallelujah!
 I am going to the Lordy...
 Come all ye Christians,
 And hear from sinner:
 Charlie Guiteau.
 Bound and determined
 He'd wind up a winner,
 Charlie had dreams
 That he wouldn't let go.
 Said, "Nothing to it,
 I want it, I'll do it,
 I'm Charles J. Guiteau."
 Charlie Guiteau
 Never said "Never"
 Or heard the word "No."
 Faced with disaster,
 His heart would beat faster,
 His smile would just grow,
 And he'd say:
 Look on the bright side,
 Look on the bright side,
 Sit on the right side
 Of the lord.
 This is the land of
 Opportunity,
 He is your lightning,
 You his sword.
 Wait till you see tomorrow,
 Tomorrow you'll get you reward!
 You can be sad
 Or you can be President-
 Look on the bright side...
 I am going to the Lordy...
 Charlie Guiteau
 Drew a crowd to his trial,
 Led them in prayer,
 Said, "I killed Garfield,
 I'll make no denial.
 I was just acting
 for someone up there.
 The Lord's my employer,
 And now He's my lawyer,
 So do what you dare."
 Charlie said, "Hell,
 If I am guilty,
 Then God is as well."
 But God was aquitted
 And Charlie committed
 Until he should hang.
 Still, he sang:
 Look on the bright side,
 Not on the black side.
 Get off your backside,
 Shine those shoes!
 This is you golden
 You are the lightning
 And you're news!
 Wait till you see tomorrow,
 Tomorrow you won't be ignored!
 You could be pardoned,
 You could be President-
 Look on the bright side...
 I am going to the Lordy...
 Charlie Guiteau
 Had a crowd at the scaffold-
 I am so glad...
 -Filled up the square,
 Som many people
 That tickets were raffled.
 Shine on his shoes
 Charlie mounted the stair,
 Said, "Never sorrow,
 Just wait till tomorrow,
 Today isn't fair.
 Don't despair..."
 Look on the bright side,
 Look on the bright side,
 Sit on the right side...
 Of the...
 I am going to the Lordy,
 I am so glad!
 I am going to the Lordy,
 I am so glad!
 I have unified my party,
 I have saved my country.
 I shall be remembered!
 I am going to the Lordy...
 Look on the bright side,
 Not on the sad side,
 Inside the bad side
 Something's good!
 This is you golden
 You've been a preacher-
 Yes, I have!
 You've been an author-
 Yes, I have!
 You've been a killer-
 Yes, I have!
 You could be an angel_
 Yes, I could!
 Just wait until tomorrow,
 Tomorrow they'll all climb aboard!
 What if you never
 Got to be President?
 You'll be remembered-
 Look on the bright side-
 Trust in tomorrow-
 And the Lord
