[ar:Oh Susanna] |

[ti:By Rope] |
[00:10.38] |
Eight mouths open crying to be fed |
[00:15.56] |
Sixteen hands a single loaf of bread |
[00:22.17] |
Two cold eyes too sad to shed a tear |
[00:27.57] |
Eighteen years that I've been living here |
[00:34.27] |
Oh my brothers oh my sisters |
[00:42.17] |
You won't see me again |
[00:47.23] |
I've headed out west to join the Williams gang |
[00:56.84] |
Sixteen coaches running down the track |
[01:02.20] |
Eight men ride through the night so black |
[01:08.80] |
Four gunshots go through the railman's head |
[01:14.15] |
One more man lies in a pool of red |
[01:20.85] |
Oh my brothers oh my sisters |
[01:28.72] |
I'm on this dusty plain |
[01:33.78] |
I rob every stagecoach and passenger train |
[02:02.34] |
One bright morning fast asleep in bed |
[02:07.57] |
One soft voice coos up you sleepy head |
[02:14.15] |
Two thick barrels pressed against my face |
[02:19.45] |
Four strong hands drag me from this place |
[02:26.20] |
Tell my brothers tell my sisters |
[02:34.08] |
They won't see me again |
[02:39.14] |
For early next morning by rope I will hang |
[02:46.05] |
See my brothers see my sisters |
[02:54.08] |
See my mother's face |
[02:59.15] |
They've come much too late for by rope I am hanged |
