hung my head - nathan fair lyrics

[verse 1]
early one morning with time to k!ll
i borrowed jeb’s rifle and i sat on the hill
i see a lone rider and he’s crossing the plains
i drew a bead on him to practice my aim
my brother’s rifle went off in my hand
a shot it rang out across the land
the horse, he kept riding, but the rider lay dead
i hung my head, i hung my head (my head, my head)

[verse 2]
i took off running to wake from the dream
my brother’s rifle i tossed in the stream
i kept on running into the south lands
that’s where they found me my head in my hands
the sheriff, he asked me, “why did i run?”
and then it came to me just what i had done
and all for no reason just one piece of lead
i hung my head, i hung my head (my head, my head, my head, my head)

[verse 3]
here in the courthouse, the whole town was there
i see the judge sitting high in his chair
“explain to the courtroom what went through your mind
and we’ll ask the jury what verdict they find.”
i felt the power of death over life
i orphaned his children and i widowed his wife
i begged them for forgiveness, i wish i was dead
i hung my head, i hung my head down (my head, my head, my head)
[verse 4]
early one morning with time to k!ll
i see the gallows and they’re up on the hill
and off in the distance a trick of the brain
i see a rider and he’s crossing the plains
had he come fetch me to see what i’d done
we’ll be riding together ’til kingdom come
i pray for god’s mercy, soon i’ll be dead
i hung my head, i hung my head down (my head)

[verse 4 repeat]
early one morning with time to k!ll
i see the gallows and they’re up on the hill
and off in the distance a trick of the brain
i see a lone rider and he’s crossing the plains
had he come fetch me to see what i’d done
we’ll be riding together ’til kingdom come
i pray for god’s mercy, soon i’ll be dead
i hung my head, i hung my head down (my head)
