SONG:Hung My Heart

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
