Drifter's Escape Lyrics

[00:23.55]	“Oh, help me in my weakness”“
[00:27.68]	I heard the drifter say
[00:33.06]	As they carried him from the courtroom
[00:36.36]	And were taking him away
[00:41.69]	“My trip hasn’t been a pleasant one“
[00:45.69]	And my time it isn’t long
[00:50.75]	And I still do not know
[00:54.44]	What it was that I’ve done wrong”
[00:56.05]
[01:05.17]	Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside
[01:09.23]	A tear came to his eye
[01:10.79]
[01:14.26]	“You fail to understand,” he said“
[01:18.26]	“Why must you even try?”“
[01:23.54]	Outside, the crowd was stirring
[01:26.82]	You could hear it from the door
[01:32.36]	Inside, the judge was stepping down
[01:36.10]	While the jury cried for more
[01:38.52]	music
[01:46.44]	“Oh, stop that cursed jury”“
[01:50.10]	Cried the attendant and the nurse
[01:55.58]	“The trial was bad enough“
[01:59.39]	But this is ten times worse”
[02:04.42]	Just then a bolt of lightning
[02:07.99]	Struck the courthouse out of shape
[02:13.38]	And while ev’rybody knelt to pray
[02:17.39]	The drifter did escape

[00:23.55]	" Oh, help me in my weakness""
[00:27.68]	I heard the drifter say
