Johnny Cash - Hung My Head Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Early one morning
  • With time to kill
  • I borrowed Jebb's rifle
  • And sat on a hill
  • I saw a lone rider
  • Crossing the plain
  • I drew a bead on him
  • To practice my aim
  • My brother's rifle
  • Went of in my hand
  • A shot rang out
  • Across the land
  • The horse, he kept running
  • The rider was dead
  • I hung my head
  • I hung my head
  • I set off running
  • To wake from the dream
  • My brother's rifle
  • Went into the sheen
  • I kept on running
  • Into the south lands
  • That's where they found me
  • My head and my hands
  • The sheriff he asked me
  • Why had I run
  • And then it came to me
  • Just what I had done
  • And all for no reason
  • Just one peace of lead
  • I hung my head
  • I hung my head
  • Here in the court house
  • The whole town was there
  • I see the judge
  • High up in the chair
  • Explain to the court room
  • What went through you mind
  • And we'll ask the jury
  • What verdict they find
  • I felt the power
  • Of death over life
  • I orphaned his children
  • I widowed his wife
  • I begged their forgiveness
  • I wish I was dead
  • I hung my head
  • I hung my head
  • I hung my head
  • I hung my head
  • Early one morning
  • With time to kill
  • I see the gallows
  • Up on a hill
  • And out in the distance
  • A trick of the brain
  • I see a lone rider
  • Crossing the plain
  • And he'd come to fetch me
  • To see what they'd done
  • And we'd ride together
  • To kingdom come
  • I prayed for god's mercy
  • For soon I'd be dead
  • I hung my head
  • I hung my head
  • I hung my head
  • I hung my head
