Dwight Yoakam - Twenty Years Lyrics
(d. yoakam)Hey look yonder, henry, comes the sheriffAnd hes carrying a warrant in his handDont you run, poor old henry, for hell shoot youNot long will you be a free manChorus:Now twenty years you must spend behind steel barsFor a crime that you did not doYeah the lie she swore in that district courtHas proved to be the ruin of youTried to warn you, henry, not to cross herTried to tell you about her vengeful waysWhen you turned and left her for anotherShe swore, henry, that shed make you payChorus:Now twenty years you must spend behind steel barsFor a crime that you did not doYeah the lie she swore in that district courtHas proved to be the ruin of youListen well, all you young roundersHeed the lesson poor old henry never learnedThat even hell with all its fiery powerHath no fury like a womans scornChorus:Now twenty years you must spend behind steel barsFor a crime that you did not doYeah the lie she swore in that district courtHas proved to be the ruin of youYeah the lie she swore in that district courtHas proved to be the ruin of you
