“Oh, help me in my weakness” |
| [00:27.82] |
I heard the drifter say |
| [00:33.30] |
As they carried him from the courtroom |
| [00:36.64] |
And were taking him away |
| [00:41.93] |
“My trip hasn’t been a pleasant one |
| [00:44.99] |
And my time it isn’t long |
| [00:51.92] |
And I still do not know |
| [00:54.89] |
What it was that I’ve done wrong” |
| [00:59.87] |
|
| [01:05.46] |
Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside |
| [01:09.33] |
A tear came to his eye |
| [01:14.57] |
“You fail to understand,” he said |
| [01:18.35] |
“Why must you even try?” |
| [01:23.77] |
Outside, the crowd was stirring |
| [01:27.31] |
You could hear it from the door |
| [01:32.68] |
Inside, the judge was stepping down |
| [01:36.15] |
While the jury cried for more |
| [01:39.42] |
music |
| [01:47.99] |
“Oh, stop that cursed jury” |
| [01:50.89] |
Cried the attendant and the nurse |
| [01:56.14] |
“The trial was bad enough |
| [01:59.59] |
But this is ten times worse” |
| [02:05.06] |
Just then a bolt of lightning |
| [02:08.36] |
Struck the courthouse out of shape |
| [02:14.17] |
And while ev’rybody knelt to pray |
| [02:17.50] |
The drifter did escape |
| [02:24.04] |
