| [00:21.801] | 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 |
