Twenty-Five Minutes |
| They’re building the gallows outside my cell |
| I got twenty-five minutes to go |
| The whole town’s waiting to hear me yell |
| I got twenty-four minutes to go |
| Well, I tried the governor and the whole damn bunch |
| I got twenty-three minutes to go |
| And I tried the mayor, but the mayor’s out to lunch |
| I got twenty-two minutes to go |
| They’ve given me beans for my last meal |
| I got twenty-one minutes to go |
| Nobody’s asked me how I feel |
| I got twenty minutes to go |
| Well, the sheriff said he’s gonna watch me die |
| I got nineteen minutes to go |
| Well, I spit in his face, and I spit in his eye |
| I got eighteen minutes… to go |
| Well, the preacher’s come to save my soul |
| I got thirteen minutes to go |
| Well, he’s talking about burning but I feel cold |
| I got twelve minutes to go |
| Well, they’re testing the trap, it chills my spine |
| I got eleven minutes to go |
| Well, the trap and the rope are both working fine |
| I got ten minutes to go |
| I’m waiting for the pardon that will set me free |
| I got nine minutes to go |
| But nobody’s remembered me |
| I got eight more minutes to go |
| Well, I’ve seen the mountains and the sky |
| I got five minutes to go |
| And they’re so pretty, I don’t wanna die |
| I got four more minutes to go |
| Well, my feet are in the trap, my neck is in the noose |
| I got three minutes to go |
| Oh, will somebody please cut me loose |
| I got two more minutes to go |
| Well, I heard the buzzards, I’ve seen the crows |
| I got one minute to go |
| And now I’m swinging, and here I go |
| I go, I go, I gchchchchcaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww… |
