By Rope

Soon The Birds专辑

  • Eight mouths open crying to be fed
    Sixteen hands a single loaf of bread
    Two cold eyes too sad to shed a tear
    Eighteen years that I've been living here
    Oh my brothers oh my sisters
    You won't see me again
    I've headed out west to join the Williams gang
    Sixteen coaches running down the track
    Eight men ride through the night so black
    Four gunshots go through the railman's head
    One more man lies in a pool of red
    Oh my brothers oh my sisters
    I'm on this dusty plain
    I rob every stagecoach and passenger train
    One bright morning fast asleep in bed
    One soft voice coos up you sleepy head
    Two thick barrels pressed against my face
    Four strong hands drag me from this place
    Tell my brothers tell my sisters
    They won't see me again
    For early next morning by rope I will hang
    See my brothers see my sisters
    See my mother's face
    They've come much too late for by rope I am hanged
