1882 |
| Good morning, young master |
| It’s 1882 |
| Your mother is hungry |
| What will you do? |
| There is bread in the kitchen |
| Of the big house upstairs |
| But I warn you, don’t take it |
| From them |
| You’ll be tarred, you’ll be feathered |
| You’ll be hung like a hammer |
| And I warn you, don’t do it |
| Young man |
| Your mother is calling |
| She wants you by the bed |
| So get ready, young master |
| Go shake your sleepy head |
| Darling son, «I am dying |
| And I leave it to you |
| As I’m leaving |
| Tell me, what did I do? |
| I am dying |
| Tell me, what did I do?» |
| Boys steals the bread, now |
| Packs it up and heads for the door |
| Man sees him coming |
| Says «boy you won’t be running no more» |
| Boy gets arrested |
| And the case is tested that day |
| Judge finds him guilty |
| And the jailer takes him away |
| Good morning, young master |
| It’s 25 to 9 |
| They’ll be coming, to get you |
| In 20 minutes time |
| You’ll be drawn, you’ll be quartered |
| You’ll be hung like hammer |
| And I warn you, get ready |
| Young man, yeah |
| Say the boy, «I am dying |
| And I leave it to you |
| As I’m leaving |
| Tell me, what did I do? |
| As I’m dying |
| Tell me, what did I do?» |
