Lyrics for I Hung My Head by JOHNNY CASH:
| | | Artist: | JOHNNY CASH |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | I Hung My Head | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 91 | | | | Lyrics: | Early one morning
With time to kill
I borrowed Jebb's rifle
And sat on a hill
I saw
a lone rider
Crossing the plain
I drew a bead on him
To practice my aim
My
brother's rifle
Went of in my hand
A shot rang out
Across the land
The horse, he
kept running
The rider was dead
I hung my head
I hung my head
I set off
running
To wake from the dream
My brother's rifle
Went into the sheen
I kept on
running
Into the south lands
That's where they found me
My head and my
hands
The sheriff he asked me
Why had I run
And then it came to me
Just what I
had done
And all for no reason
Just one peace of lead
I hung my head
I hung my
head
Here in the court house
The whole town was there
I see the judge
High up
in the chair
Explain to the court room
What went through you mind
And we'll ask the
jury
What verdict they find
I felt the power
Of death over life
I orphaned his
children
I widowed his wife
I begged their forgiveness
I wish I was dead
I hung my
head
I hung my head
I hung my head
I hung my head
Early one
morning
With time to kill
I see the gallows
Up on a hill
And out in the
distance
A trick of the brain
I see a lone rider
Crossing the plain
And he'd
come to fetch me
To see what they'd done
And we'd ride together
To kingdom come
I
prayed for god's mercy
For soon I'd be dead
I hung my head
I hung my head
I
hung my head
I hung my head | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
