aka "Booth" or "John Wilkes Booth". American reel tune, the title of which commerates the April 14, 1865 assassination of Abraham Lincoln by the actor, John Wilkes Booth.

There is also a lyrical ballad called Booth Killed Lincoln. Bascom Lamar Lunsford performed both the instrumental air and the lyrical ballad in 1949 for the Library of Congress. The two songs can sometimes be interrelated as the reel can be performed with the ballad's lyrics.
