	“Oh, help me in my weakness”
	I heard the drifter say
	As they carried him from the courtroom
	And were taking him away
	“My trip hasn’t been a pleasant one
	And my time it isn’t long
	And I still do not know
	What it was that I’ve done wrong”

	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?”
	Outside, the crowd was stirring
	You could hear it from the door
	Inside, the judge was stepping down
	While the jury cried for more

	“Oh, stop that cursed jury”
	Cried the attendant and the nurse
	“The trial was bad enough
	But this is ten times worse”
	Just then a bolt of lightning
	Struck the courthouse out of shape
	And while ev’rybody knelt to pray
	The drifter did escape

	" Oh, help me in my weakness"
	I heard the drifter say
	As they carried him from the courtroom
	And were taking him away
	" My trip hasn' t been a pleasant one
	And my time it isn' t long
	And I still do not know
	What it was that I' ve done wrong"

	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?"
	Outside, the crowd was stirring
	You could hear it from the door
	Inside, the judge was stepping down
	While the jury cried for more

	" Oh, stop that cursed jury"

	" The trial was bad enough
	But this is ten times worse"
	Just then a bolt of lightning
