“Oh, help me in my weakness”“ |
| [00:27.68] |
I heard the drifter say |
| [00:33.06] |
As they carried him from the courtroom |
| [00:36.36] |
And were taking him away |
| [00:41.69] |
“My trip hasn’t been a pleasant one“ |
| [00:45.69] |
And my time it isn’t long |
| [00:50.75] |
And I still do not know |
| [00:54.44] |
What it was that I’ve done wrong” |
| [00:56.05] |
|
| [01:05.17] |
Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside |
| [01:09.23] |
A tear came to his eye |
| [01:10.79] |
|
| [01:14.26] |
“You fail to understand,” he said“ |
| [01:18.26] |
“Why must you even try?”“ |
| [01:23.54] |
Outside, the crowd was stirring |
| [01:26.82] |
You could hear it from the door |
| [01:32.36] |
Inside, the judge was stepping down |
| [01:36.10] |
While the jury cried for more |
| [01:38.52] |
music |
| [01:46.44] |
“Oh, stop that cursed jury”“ |
| [01:50.10] |
Cried the attendant and the nurse |
| [01:55.58] |
“The trial was bad enough“ |
| [01:59.39] |
But this is ten times worse” |
| [02:04.42] |
Just then a bolt of lightning |
| [02:07.99] |
Struck the courthouse out of shape |
| [02:13.38] |
And while ev’rybody knelt to pray |
| [02:17.39] |
The drifter did escape |
