[The Balladeer smiles a little, a rueful expression.]

Charlie Guiteau had a crowd at the scaffold,
filled up the square.
So many people that tickets were raffled -
shine on his shoes, Charlie mounted the stair.
Said, "Never sorrow,
Just wait 'til tomorrow,
Today isn't fair.
Don't despair..."

...it feels weird singing that without him. He was the only one that got a public execution - the guys who got the electric chair, they didn't let people in.
