| [03:41.76][00:38.73] |
Early one morning |
| [03:44.98][00:41.28] |
With time to kill |
| [00:44.14] |
I borrowed Jeb's rifle |
| [00:46.76] |
And sat on the hill |
| [00:49.47] |
I saw a lone rider |
| [04:01.32][00:52.14] |
Crossing the plain |
| [00:54.83] |
I drew a bead on him |
| [00:57.51] |
To practice my aim |
| [01:27.35][01:00.62] |
My brother's rifle |
| [01:03.03] |
Went off in my hand |
| [01:05.80] |
A shot rang out |
| [01:08.43] |
Across the land |
| [01:11.08] |
The horse he kept running |
| [01:13.75] |
The rider was dead |
| [01:22.40] |
I set off running |
| [01:24.63] |
To wake from the dream |
| [01:30.03] |
Went into the stream |
| [01:32.66] |
I kept on running |
| [01:35.42] |
Into the salt lands |
| [01:38.08] |
And that's where they found me |
| [01:40.75] |
My head in my hands |
| [01:43.80] |
The sheriff he asked me |
| [01:46.33] |
Why had I run |
| [01:48.97] |
Then it came to me |
| [01:51.75] |
Just what I had done |
| [01:54.33] |
And all for no reason |
| [01:56.77] |
Just one piece of lead |
| [02:32.36] |
Here in the courthouse |
| [02:34.70] |
The whole town is there |
| [02:37.44] |
I see the judge |
| [02:39.98] |
High up in his chair |
| [02:42.84] |
"Explain to the courtroom |
| [02:45.54] |
What went through your mind |
| [02:48.19] |
And we'll ask the jury |
| [02:50.90] |
What verdict they find" |
| [02:54.01] |
I said "I felt the power |
| [02:56.37] |
Of death over life |
| [02:59.13] |
I orphaned his children |
| [03:01.82] |
I widowed his wife |
| [03:04.45] |
I beg their forgiveness |
| [03:07.04] |
I wish I was dead" |
| [03:47.92] |
I see the gallows |
| [03:50.46] |
Up on the hill |
| [03:53.13] |
And out in the distance |
| [03:55.91] |
A trick of the brain |
| [03:58.54] |
I see a lone rider |
| [04:04.10] |
He's come to fetch me |
| [04:06.67] |
To see what they done |
| [04:09.32] |
We'll ride together |
| [04:12.00] |
'Til kingdom come |
| [04:14.68] |
I pray for God's mercy |
| [04:17.56] |
For soon I'll be dead |
