 When they Dcaught the man he did 23 months of timeA G

 He plDead insanity like they do now all Athe time G

 Sir wDhat would you have done in 1859 A G

 now if you shoDot someone sir you can get oAff scott free G

 its the latDest thing mr LincolnA can you believe G

 Now they suDe the manufactures of tAhe guns G

 aint the laDw changed alot sincAe 1861 E

 Now my lawyDer called me about a nuisaAnce case G
