[00:10.22] | “Oh, help me in my weakness”“ |
[00:14.24] | I heard the drifter say |
[00:20.37] | As they carried him from the courtroom |
[00:24.64] | And were taking him away |
[00:30.88] | “My trip hasn’t been a pleasant one“ |
[00:35.44] | And my time it isn’t long |
[00:41.38] | And I still do not know |
[00:45.72] | What it was that I’ve done wrong” |
[00:56.25] | Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside |
[01:00.70] | A tear came to his eye |
[01:06.71] | “You fail to understand,” he said“ |
[01:11.08] | “Why must you even try?”“ |
[01:17.07] | Outside, the crowd was stirring |
[01:19.18] | |
[01:21.51] | You could hear it from the door |
[01:27.57] | Inside, the judge was stepping down |
[01:31.71] | While the jury cried for more |
[01:46.60] | “Oh, stop that cursed jury”“ |
[01:50.59] | Cried the attendant and the nurse |
[01:57.38] | “The trial was bad enough“ |
[02:01.54] | But this is ten times worse” |
[02:07.46] | Just then a bolt of lightning |
[02:11.46] | Struck the courthouse out of shape |
[02:17.79] | And while ev’rybody knelt to pray |
[02:22.35] | The drifter did escape |
[00:10.22] | " Oh, help me in my weakness"" |
