Song language: English
The Lynchin' Party |
| The Lynch mob gathered in the square across from the jail |
| Young Billy watched them from his cell and felt his courage fail |
| Bill swore he wasn’t guilty but the evidence was plain |
| Tomorrow he would go on trial for killing Mary Jane |
| They shouted beat the prisoner hardy we’re gonna have a Lynchin' party |
| Gonna hang him high watch him die for killing Mary Jane |
| The mob is closer to the jail excitement all around |
| The deputies kept moving back afraid to hold their ground |
| Then the young girl cried you cowards but the Lynch mob searched ahead |
| Dragged young Billy from that jail and soon the kid was dead |
| They shouted beat the prisoner hardy… |
| The weeks went by and no one spoke about it anymore |
| Or seemed to see the wreath Bill’s mother hung upon the door |
| Then one night they dragged a ragged hobo from a train |
| And he confessed he was the one who killed young Mary Jane |
| They shouted beat the prisoner hardy… |
| Gonna hang him high watch him die for killing Mary Jane |
