Bastard's Blues 歌词

Come down slow, pauper There ain’t no way out Upside the head and down Boss man done hit the ground Then they found him cold dead Paint the whole town blood red Raised to pull on a snake chain At the age of 12 I went astray At 22 they say I killed a man And today they say I'm going to hang Come down slow, jailer I think I got me a way out Here they come to condemn Yet they’ve bought and sold men All I got’s the here and now One shot to black it out Raised to pull on a snake chain At the age of 12 I went astray At 22 they say I killed a man And today they say I'm going to hang Don’t let me hang yet One step to the holy chair Down the hall to the guard and stair Tie him up and I’m on the tier In and out the door here Raised to pull on a snake chain And today they say I'm going to hang
