Drifter's Escape

[00:00.94]	music
[00:17.13]
[00:23.87]	“Oh, help me in my weakness”
[00:27.82]	I heard the drifter say
[00:33.30]	As they carried him from the courtroom
[00:36.64]	And were taking him away
[00:41.93]	“My trip hasn’t been a pleasant one
[00:44.99]	And my time it isn’t long
[00:51.92]	And I still do not know
[00:54.89]	What it was that I’ve done wrong”
[00:59.87]
[01:05.46]	Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside
[01:09.33]	A tear came to his eye
[01:14.57]	“You fail to understand,” he said
[01:18.35]	“Why must you even try?”
[01:23.77]	Outside, the crowd was stirring
[01:27.31]	You could hear it from the door
[01:32.68]	Inside, the judge was stepping down
[01:36.15]	While the jury cried for more
[01:39.42]	music
[01:47.99]	“Oh, stop that cursed jury”
[01:50.89]	Cried the attendant and the nurse
[01:56.14]	“The trial was bad enough
[01:59.59]	But this is ten times worse”
[02:05.06]	Just then a bolt of lightning
[02:08.36]	Struck the courthouse out of shape
[02:14.17]	And while ev’rybody knelt to pray
[02:17.50]	The drifter did escape
