Lyrics for Hung My Heart by Johnny Cash:
| | | Artist: | Johnny Cash |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Hung My Heart | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 70 | | | | Lyrics: | Early one morning
With time to kill
I borrowed Jebbs 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
brothers 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 brothers rifle
Went into the sheen
I kept on
running
Into the south lands
Thats 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 well 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 hed
come to fetch me
To see what theyd done
And wed ride together
To kingdom come
I
prayed for gods mercy
For soon Id be dead
I hung my head
I hung my head
I hung
my head
I hung my head | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
