Текст песни
i pray for god s mercy for soon i ll be dead
I hung my head, my head in my hands
my head in my hands
the horse he kept running
I hung my head, i kept on running into the salt lands Johnny, i wish i was dead
i said i felt the power of death over life
he s come to fetch me to see what they done
i see the gallows up on the hill
I see the judge high up in his chair, we ll ride together til kingdom come My, the horse he kept running
the horse he kept running
My brother s rifle went off in my hand, i beg their forgiveness My, the horse he kept running
he s come to fetch me to see what they done
The rider was dead, my brother s rifle went off in my hand
i hung my head
I see a lone rider crossing the plain, then it came to me just what i had done
Just one piece of lead, we ll ride together til kingdom come My, i saw a lone rider crossing the plain
Early one morning with time to kill, i drew a bead on him to practice my aim
I hung my head, i hung my head Cash, i widowed his wife
Early one morning with time to kill, i pray for god s mercy for soon i ll be dead
I borrowed jeb s rifle and sat on the hill, i hung my head, early one morning with time to kill
I see a lone rider crossing the plain, explain to the courtroom what went through your mind My, here in the courthouse
early one morning with time to kill
Then it came to me just what i had done, the horse he kept running
i hung my head
I hung my head, early one morning with time to kill Johnny, i said i felt the power of death over life
I hung my head, i see the judge high up in his chair
The rider was dead, we ll ride together til kingdom come Johnny, i hung my head
a shot rang out across the land
I hung my head, i wish i was dead
i kept on running into the salt lands
here in the courthouse
Early one morning with time to kill, early one morning with time to kill, i see the judge high up in his chair
i hung my head
The whole town is there, i wish i was dead, i hung my head
And that s where they found me, i hung my head
I hung my head, then it came to me just what i had done
my head in my hands
I set off running to wake from the dream, i borrowed jeb s rifle and sat on the hill Cash, and we ll ask the jury what verdict they find
And my brother s rifle went into the stream, and my brother s rifle went into the stream, i see the gallows up on the hill
i orphaned his children
My head in my hands, i see a lone rider crossing the plain Cash, the horse he kept running
And that s where they found me, i hung my head My, i hung my head
We ll ride together til kingdom come, i hung my head Hung, i wish i was dead
I borrowed jeb s rifle and sat on the hill, i wish i was dead, i hung my head
