Drifter's Escape |
«Oh, help me in my weakness,» |
I heard the drifter say, |
As they carried him from the courtroom |
And were taking him away. |
«My trip hasn’t been a pleasant one |
And my time it isn’t long, |
And I still do not know |
What it was that I’ve done wrong.» |
Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside, |
A tear came to his eye, |
«You fail to understand,"he said, |
«Why must you even try?» |
Outside, the crowd was stirring, |
You could hear it from the door. |
Inside, the judge was stepping down, |
While the jury cried for more. |
«Oh, stop that cursed jury,» |
Cried the attendant and the nurse, |
«The trial was bad enough, |
But this is ten times worse.» |
Just then a bolt of lightning |
Struck the courthouse out of shape, |
And while ev’rybody knelt to pray |
The drifter did escape. |
