The hanged me high and tight
My boardinghouse had secrets and helped Confederates
Wasn’t raised or schooled to do this
Had a much better upbringing
Nevertheless what was done is done
Hated that Lincoln
What a nuisance with ideals that disgusted me and many others
Ran a boardinghouse after my Mr. passed
Booth and our friends had a plan
My boardinghouse was where it was conceived and hatched
John had a lot of help at that Theatre
Never admitted guilt and still won’t
July 4 wouldn’t ever matter to me or my kind of person
School kids only learn about me when a teacher makes an effort
Cause my name is not in most American History books
Mostly Booth
My name is Mary Surratt
