Lyrics

Early one morning with time to kill I borrowed Jeb's rifle and sat on the hill I saw a lone rider crossing the plain I drew a bead on him, to practice my aim My brother's rifle went off in my hand A shot rang out across the land The horse, he kept running, the rider was dead I hung my head, I hung my head I set off running to wake from the dream My brother's rifle went into the sheen I kept on running into the south lands That's where they found me, my head in my hands The sheriff he asked me why had I run And then it came to me, just what I had done And all for no reason, just one piece of lead I hung my head, I hung my head Here in the courthouse, the whole town was there I see the judge high up in his chair Explain to the courtroom what went through your mind And we'll ask the jury what verdict they find I felt the power of death over life I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife I begged their forgiveness, I wish I was dead I hung my head, I hung my head I hung my head, I hung my head Early one morning with time to kill I see the gallows up on the hill And out in the distance, a trick of the brain I see a lone rider crossing the plain And he'd come to fetch me, to see what they'd done And we'll ride together to kingdom come I pray for God's mercy, for soon I'll be dead I hung my head, I hung my head I hung my head, I hung my head
