| Well, I heard 6 shots ring out in succession |
| And it broke the night air like a china plate |
| And in my knife blade I saw my own reflection |
| And the devil was at the front gate |
| And just when you wish that you were dead |
| Oh may the light shine down upon your head |
| Well, it’s a long walk from the cell door to the gallows |
| It’s a long walk for a prisoner to take |
| And when your last resort is pray to the lord |
| That the noose is weak enough to break |
| Oh shine, shine, shine, shine, shine down |
| Oh shine down upon my head |
| Well there’s certain things you just can’t escape from |
| No matter how far and how fast you decide to run |
| And when the last thing to take has been taken |
| And the last prayer has rolled off your tongue |
