Intro 1
E
Well they're building a gallows outside my cell
And the whole town's waitin'
just to hear me yell
Verse 1
for my last meal
But nobody asked me how I feel
Well I sent for the governor
and the whole dern bunch
And I sent for the mayor but he's out to lunch
Then the sheriff said boy
I gonna watch you die
So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye
G
G
Verse 2
for to save my soul
And he's talking bout' burnin' but I'm so cold
Now they're testin' the trap
and it chills my spine
And the trap and the rope
aw they work just fine
Well I'm watin' on the pardon that'll set me free
But this is for real so forget about me
A

Verse 3
and my head on the noose
Won't somebody come and cut me loose
I can see the mountains I can see the skies
And it's to dern pretty
for a man that don't want to die
I can see the buzzards I can hear the crows
And now I'm swingin'
and here I go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
