lyrics

give your ear
to my words, oh lord
won't you give heed
to my sighing heart
well the night, the night is cold
and the clouds, break overhead
and this night, oh this night
i feel like dying

well the harvest moon
stares through my window
shadows of the bars
paint the floor
all i know is where i'm going
not gonna stay here
for long long long long long

if i die
before i wake
won't you bury me
next to my wife
one long year
to the day
since he took her
he took her from me
in the morning
i plead my case
as i watch the gavel fall
they gonna take
oh lord they gonna take me
to the gallows pole
gallows pole

they're gonna hang me
in the morning
never gonna see the sun
they're gonna hang me
in the morning
not stay here for long
