| I’m the man their gonna hang for killing Billy Joe |
| But there’s a whole lot more to the story than they know |
| Listen to my side of it and I think that you will see |
| The reason that I killed the boy that made a fool of me |
| There was a girl named Mary Anne |
| And Mary Anne meant all the world to me |
| We planned to get married |
| We set the date the wedding was to be |
| But I walked up to her house one night |
| And out there on the front porch they sat |
| And then I swore he’d never get away with that |
| Billy Joe took Mary Anne and went up to the dance hall one night |
| They didn’t know that I was standing back there in the shadows out of sight |
| They sat down at a table and she smiled as he gave her hand the pat |
| And then I swore he’d never get away with that |
| I swore he’d never get away with breaking my heart |
| I knew that there was just one way to keep them apart |
| Everybody says his mother begged him |
| Not to take his guns to town |
| He should have listened to her |
| She knew that I was gonna shoot him down |
| I’ll be hung tomorrow just because I had to kill that little rat |
| But I swore he’d never get away with that |
| And Billy Joe didn’t get away with that |
