Early On (1964-1966)

Bars Of The County Jail
4
Gather you all and listen here
5
I'll tell you a tale if you lend me an ear
6
I rode a horse through many a town
7
But the devil rode me down to the ground
8
I was to marry a very rich girl
9
I loved her as only I can
10
But the father was shot and his gold was stoled
11
And now I'm the devil's man, na na na
12
And now I sing a tail of woe
13
Through the bars of the county jail
14
I walked into the room one night
15
I found her mother and gun
16
Well the man was dead and I kneeled and cried
17
The sheriff ran in and said I'm holding you, son
18
Through the day I sing and play
19
For time is on my side
20
But when the moon and stars come out
21
I lay me down and cry
22
For the Saviour mar I lied
23
Now I will not have a ride
24
Beside the window the scaffold was made
25
On the morrow I will hang
