1
Early one mornin' with time to kill
2
I borrowed Jeb's rifle and sat on the hill
3
I saw a lone rider, crossin' the plain
4
I drew a bead on him to practice my aim
5
My brother's rifle went off in my hand
6
The shot rang out, across the land
7
The horse he kept runnin', the rider was dead
8
I hung my head, I hung my head
9
I set off runnin' to wake from the dream
10
But my brother's rifle went into the stream
11
I kept on runnin' into the salt lands
12
And that's where they found me, my head in my hands
13
The Sheriff he asked me, why had I run?
14
Then it came to me just what I had done
15
And all for no reason, just one piece of lead
16
I hung my head, I hung my head
17
Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there
18
I see the judge, high up in his chair
19
Explain to the courtroom, what went through your mind
20
And we'll ask the jury, what verdict they find
21
I said, "I felt the power of death over life
22
I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife
23
I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead"
24
I hung my head, I hung my head
25
I hung my head, I hung my head
26
Early one mornin' with time to kill
27
I see the gallows, up on the hill
28
And out in the distance, a trick of the brain
29
I see a lone rider, crossin' the plain
30
He come to fetch me to see what they done
31
And we'll ride together 'til kingdom come
32
I pray for God's mercy, for soon I'll be dead
33
I hung my head, I hung my head
34
I hung my head, I hung my head
35
I hung my head, I hung my head
36
