“Oh, help me in my weakness”“ |
| [00:14.24] |
I heard the drifter say |
| [00:20.37] |
As they carried him from the courtroom |
| [00:24.64] |
And were taking him away |
| [00:30.88] |
“My trip hasn’t been a pleasant one“ |
| [00:35.44] |
And my time it isn’t long |
| [00:41.38] |
And I still do not know |
| [00:45.72] |
What it was that I’ve done wrong” |
| [00:56.25] |
Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside |
| [01:00.70] |
A tear came to his eye |
| [01:06.71] |
“You fail to understand,” he said“ |
| [01:11.08] |
“Why must you even try?”“ |
| [01:17.07] |
Outside, the crowd was stirring |
| [01:19.18] |
|
| [01:21.51] |
You could hear it from the door |
| [01:27.57] |
Inside, the judge was stepping down |
| [01:31.71] |
While the jury cried for more |
| [01:46.60] |
“Oh, stop that cursed jury”“ |
| [01:50.59] |
Cried the attendant and the nurse |
| [01:57.38] |
“The trial was bad enough“ |
| [02:01.54] |
But this is ten times worse” |
| [02:07.46] |
Just then a bolt of lightning |
| [02:11.46] |
Struck the courthouse out of shape |
| [02:17.79] |
And while ev’rybody knelt to pray |
| [02:22.35] |
The drifter did escape |
