Tim Evans was a prisoner within his prison cell |
| [00:09.165] |
And those who read about his crime they damned his soul to hell |
| [00:14.052] |
Saying "go down you murderer, go down" |
| [00:20.518] |
For the murder of his own dear wife and the killing of his child |
| [00:25.229] |
The jury found him guilty and the hanging judge, he smiled |
| [00:30.183] |
Saying "go down you murderer, go down" |
| [00:35.682] |
Tim Evans pleaded innocent and swore by Him on high |
| [00:40.045] |
He never killed his own dear wife or caused his child to die |
| [00:45.070] |
Saying "go down you murderer, go down" |
| [00:50.375] |
They moved him out at 6 o'clock to his final flowery dell |
| [00:55.133] |
And day and night two guards were there and never left his cell |
| [01:00.185] |
Saying "go down you murderer, go down" |
| [01:05.680] |
Sometimes they played cards with him - solo and pontoon |
| [01:10.186] |
To stop him brooding on the rope that was to be his doom |
| [01:14.995] |
Saying go down you murderer, go down |
| [01:20.319] |
The governor came in one day with a chaplain by his side |
| [01:24.620] |
Said "your appeal has been turned down, prepare yourself to die" |
| [01:29.561] |
Saying "go down you murderer, go down" |
| [01:35.194] |
Tim Evans walked in the prison garden, the guards walked behind |
| [01:40.970] |
He saw the sky above the wall and knew no peace of mind |
| [01:46.775] |
Saying "go down you murderer, go down" |
| [01:52.274] |
They fixed the rope around his neck, buckled behind his ears |
| [01:58.303] |
The prison bell was tolling but Tim Evans did not hear |
| [02:02.787] |
Saying "go down you murderer, go down" |
| [02:08.338] |
A thousand men were cursing and banging on their doors |
| [02:14.020] |
But Tim Evans did not hear them, he was deaf for evermore |
| [02:19.760] |
Saying "go down you murderer, go down" |
| [02:26.718] |
They sent Tim Evans to the drop for a crime he didn't do |
| [02:32.616] |
It was Christie was the murderer, the judge and jury too |
| [02:39.682] |
Saying "go down you murderer, go down" |
