povertyneck hillbillies - jericho lyrics

Loading...

boot leather on a barroom floor, fightin’ over a dance hall girl
he pulled a knife, i pulled a gun, and i sent him home to glory
the sheriff said son, better go with me
give me your gun and come peacefully
i can drop you right here, or you can tell the court your story

chorus:
hang me high, hang me low
they’re gonna hang me in the morning
stay away from jericho, all you rounders,
i give you fair warning

entered my plea, called it self defense,
a sober judge sittin’ on the bench
and i stared into 24 eyes of a hard-nosed jericho jury
they called it murder in the first degree,
the judge said, son, stand and look at me
hang him – and may the lord have mercy

chorus

thirteen steps to the scaffold high,
the whole town’s out just to watch me die
and not one to shed a tear of mourning
please would you honor my last request,
when they lay me down to rest
let the epitaph on my tombstone read this warning

chorus
