Early one morning |
| [00:23.813] |
with time to kill |
| [00:26.901] |
I borrowed Jeb's rifle |
| [00:29.198] |
and sat on the hill |
| [00:32.241] |
I saw a lone rider |
| [00:34.597] |
crossing the plain |
| [00:37.721] |
I drew a bead on him |
| [00:40.301] |
to practice my aim |
| [00:43.114] |
My brother's rifle |
| [00:45.293] |
went off in my hand |
| [00:48.406] |
A shot rang out |
| [00:50.809] |
across the land |
| [00:53.744] |
The horse he kept running |
| [00:56.238] |
the rider was dead |
| [00:58.885] |
I hung my head |
| [01:01.894] |
I hung my head |
| [01:04.764] |
I set off running |
| [01:07.356] |
to wake from the dream |
| [01:10.045] |
And my brother's rifle |
| [01:12.590] |
went into the stream |
| [01:15.356] |
I kept on running |
| [01:18.060] |
into the salt lands |
| [01:20.968] |
And that's where they found me |
| [01:23.424] |
my head in my hands |
| [01:26.273] |
The sheriff he asked me |
| [01:28.952] |
"Why had I run" |
| [01:31.518] |
Then it came to me |
| [01:34.106] |
just what I had done |
| [01:36.874] |
And all for no reason |
| [01:39.332] |
just one piece of lead |
| [01:42.184] |
I hung my head |
| [01:45.094] |
I hung my head |
| [02:09.656] |
Here in the courthouse |
| [02:12.127] |
the whole town is there |
| [02:14.673] |
I see the judge |
| [02:17.143] |
high up in his chair |
| [02:20.028] |
"Explain to the courtroom |
| [02:22.671] |
what went through your mind |
| [02:25.366] |
And we'll ask the jury |
| [02:27.812] |
what verdict they find" |
| [02:31.052] |
I said "I felt the power |
| [02:33.405] |
of death over life |
| [02:36.048] |
I orphaned his children |
| [02:38.737] |
I widowed his wife |
| [02:41.694] |
I beg their forgiveness |
| [02:44.486] |
I wish I was dead" |
| [02:47.063] |
I hung my head |
| [02:49.610] |
I hung my head |
| [03:19.780] |
Early one morning |
| [03:22.241] |
with time to kill |
| [03:25.062] |
I see the gallows |
| [03:27.364] |
up on the hill |
| [03:30.284] |
And out in the distance |
| [03:32.803] |
a trick of the brain |
| [03:35.846] |
I see a lone rider |
| [03:38.533] |
crossing the plain |
| [03:41.239] |
He's come to fetch me |
| [03:43.847] |
to see what they done |
| [03:46.318] |
We'll ride together |
| [03:49.297] |
til Kingdom come |
| [03:51.599] |
I pray for God's mercy |
| [03:54.228] |
for soon I'll be dead |
| [03:57.228] |
I hung my head |
| [03:59.744] |
I hung my head |
