Drifter's Escape Lyrics

[00:10.22]	“Oh, help me in my weakness”“
[00:14.24]	I heard the drifter say
[00:20.37]	As they carried him from the courtroom
[00:24.64]	And were taking him away
[00:30.88]	“My trip hasn’t been a pleasant one“
[00:35.44]	And my time it isn’t long
[00:41.38]	And I still do not know
[00:45.72]	What it was that I’ve done wrong”
[00:56.25]	Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside
[01:00.70]	A tear came to his eye
[01:06.71]	“You fail to understand,” he said“
[01:11.08]	“Why must you even try?”“
[01:17.07]	Outside, the crowd was stirring
[01:19.18]
[01:21.51]	You could hear it from the door
[01:27.57]	Inside, the judge was stepping down
[01:31.71]	While the jury cried for more
[01:46.60]	“Oh, stop that cursed jury”“
[01:50.59]	Cried the attendant and the nurse
[01:57.38]	“The trial was bad enough“
[02:01.54]	But this is ten times worse”
[02:07.46]	Just then a bolt of lightning
[02:11.46]	Struck the courthouse out of shape
[02:17.79]	And while ev’rybody knelt to pray
[02:22.35]	The drifter did escape

[00:10.22]	" Oh, help me in my weakness""
