lyrics

Well hell it was swell
'Til they fell from my spell
Until they ran for the hills
I can't say that I was thrilled
Thought they had proof of my guilt
Though those half-truths that I spilled
Would never fill up a hat
Still they weren't looking for facts
In fact I fed them the fat
In that I told them that that murder rap
Was manslaughter, on my honour
That judge had it out for me, so did his daughter
Those hangers-on to anger woulda hanged her
That's for dang sure
I've got a blade in my cane for the plainshirts
But the traitors get it way worse
Frightened I was
As I reached for each wrung
As I reaped what I'd sown
But I won't preach to you, son
See the lot of them scoffed
At just how often I'd shot
And for nothing they thought
So with a cuss and a cough
And the lord as my guide
And my sword by my side
Those fiends made my hands full it's clean in my mind
I didn't need to be Daniel to see that I'd die
Probably I should have paid up
The game's up
It's quite a shame, bud
You shoulda stayed, we'd have all made the big bucks
Who'da thinked blood
Coulda sinked us
Maybe I don't wake up
And then what
Could be bed, bud
I bet it's black, that'd be best, missed by this much
Such is bad luck
As much as I've got
