They had a warrant out for me all over country and I was trying to beat two raps in Idaho, I was breaking into a school house sunday morning without warning when I saw the sheriff coming for me slow from down below His steel grey eyes were blazing when he saw me his hand was on his gun when he rode up he said you killed that woman I know you shot her why'd you do it? I'm taking you to Austin and I'm gonna lock you up Well he tied me with the plowline the next morning and he had me deep in Texas the next day A crazy screaming lynchmob waited in streets of Austin but he put me in the jailhouse and he threw the key away a jury found me guilty three months later weld evil men with murder in their eyes they even took me out and said now show us where you killed her and that wicked judge said now I hereby sentence you to die But here I am far away from Austin prison my friend the jailor handed me a file now all I want between me and there are alot of friendly people and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles {Thanks to [email protected] for tabs}
