Hangman's Blues - Blind Lemon Jefferson
Hangman's rope
Is so tough and strong
Oh the hangman's rope
Is so tough and strong
They gonna hang me
Because I done something wrong
I wanna tell you the gallis
Lord's a fearful sight
I wanna tell you the gallis
Lord's a fearful sight
Hang me in the morning
And cut me down at night
While a mean ol hangman
Is waiting to tighten up that noose
Oh the mean ol hangman
Is waiting to tighten up that noose
Lord I'm so scared
I'm trembling in my shoes
Jury heard my case and
They said my hand was red
Incomprehensible heard my case
And said my hand was red
And judge he sentenced me
Be hanging till I'm dead
They crowd round the courthouse
And the time is going fast
Oh they crowd round the courthouse
And the time is going fast
Soon a good-for-nothing
Killer is gonna breath his last
Lord I'm almost dying
Gasping for my breath
Lord I'm almost dying
Gasping for my breath
And a trifling woman
Waiting to celebrate my death
