They killed a man for doing wrong today When all he ever did in life was look the other way And with his verdict someone heard him pray The crowd gathered around to see the look on his face Will they ever know, the last words he spoke. He Cried "Mother!" As the people stood and stared. He Cried "Mother." And no one seemed to care. Early 25 years to his name Only the good die young it's too hard to say With a wife and child living back at home far from here where he dies all alone Will they ever know, the last words he spoke He Cried "Mother!" As the people stood and stared He Cried "Mother." Sounded like a prayer "Guitar and harp plays" 2 rounds They killed a man for doing wrong today " humming rest of the song "
