Album | Murder |
作词 : Cash | |
They had a warrant out for me all over the country | |
And I was trying to beat the raps in | |
IdahoI was breaking into a schoolhouse | |
Sunday morning without warning | |
When I saw the sheriff coming for me slow from down below | |
His steel gray eyes were blazing when he saw me | |
His hand was on his gun when he rode up | |
He said you killed that woman | |
I know you shot her why'd you do it | |
I'm taking you to | |
Austin then | |
I'm gonna lock you up | |
Well he tied me with a plow line the next morning | |
And he had me deep in | |
Texas the next day | |
A crazy screaming lynch mob waited in the streets of | |
AustinBut he put me in the jail house and he threw the key away | |
A jury found me guilty three months later | |
Twelve evil men with murder in their eyes | |
They even took me out | |
And said now show us where you killed her | |
And that wicked judge said | |
Now I here by sentence you to die | |
But here I am far away from | |
Austin prison | |
My friend the jailer handed me a file | |
Now all I want between me | |
And there are a lot of friendly people | |
And miles and miles and miles | |
And miles and miles and miles and miles |
