Bow Down Your Head And Cry |
| As I went down to the river poor boy to watch the ships go by |
| My sweetheart’s stood on the deck of one she waved to me goodbye |
| Bow down your head and cry (poor boy) bow down your head and cry |
| Stop thinking of that woman you love bow down your head and cry |
| I followed her from months and months she offered me her hand |
| We were just about to get married when she ran off with a gambling man |
| He come at me with a big jack knife I went and hit him with lead |
| And when that fight was over poor boy he laid beside me dead |
| Bow down your head and cry… |
| They took me to that big jailhouse the months and months rolled by |
| The jury found me guilty poor boy and the judge said yoou’re gonna die |
| And yet they call this justice poor boy then justice let it be |
| I only killed a man who’s just a fixin' to kill me |
| Bow down your head and cry… |
