Bastard's Blues |
| 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… |
