And were taking him away
(C major)
"My trip hasn't been (G major) a pleasant (C major) one
My time it isn't long
And I still do not know
Verse 3
What it was that I've done wrong"
(C major)
Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside
A tear came to his eye
"You fail to understand", he said
"Why must you even try?"
Verse 4
Outside, (C major) the crowd was stirring
You could hear it from the door
Inside, the judge was stepping down

While the jury cried for more
(C major)
Verse 5
"Oh, stop (C major) that cursed jury"
Cried the attendant and the nurse
The trial was bad enough
But this is ten times worse

Just (C major) then a bolt of lightning
Struck the courthouse out of shape
And while everybody knelt to pray

The drifter did escape
