claybank - poor lillie lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in the morning light i see the town -ssemble
justice will be served and that we all know well
my body’s weak and my hands begin to tremble
as they grip the cold steel bars of the johnstone county jail

[interlude]

[verse 2]
i hang my head, i can’t escape my crime
my bl–dy hands have sealed my dreadful fate
for lillie’s death i climb the gallows high
i’m the man that took that poor girls life
and for my sins i’ll pay

[verse 3]
a lovers rage had sought poor lillie’s life
one hundred dollars placed upon her head
i bore the vengeance of her lovers wife
i met lillie on the mountain side
and there i shot her dead

[interlude]

[verse 4]
almighty god, have mercy on my soul
for today i’ll pay the wages of my sins
like the dying thief please can you make me whole?
that my poor children they might see
their daddy once again
