Lyrics for Bars Of The County Jail by Bowie David:
| | | Artist: | Bowie David |
| | Album: | Early On (1964-1966) | | Track: | Bars Of The County Jail | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 131 | | | | Lyrics: | Gather you all and listen here
I'll tell you a tale if you lend me an ear
I rode a horse through many a town
But the devil rode me down to the ground
I was to marry a very rich girl
I loved her as only I can
But the father was shot and his gold was stoled
And now I'm the devil's man, na na na
And now I sing a tail of woe
Through the bars of the county jail
I walked into the room one night
I found her mother and gun
Well the man was dead and I kneeled and cried
The sheriff ran in and said I'm holding you, son
Through the day I sing and play
For time is on my side
But when the moon and stars come out
I lay me down and cry
For the Saviour mar I lied
Now I will not have a ride
Beside the window the scaffold was made
On the morrow I will hang | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
