The horse he kept the rider was dead I hung my head I hung my head
running
That's it for the guitar. It just repeats the intro between verses, and repeats the last two
bars of the verse at the end of verses 2-4.
Verse 2.
I set off running to wake from the dream
My brother's rifle went into the stream
I kept on running into the salt lands
And that's where they found me, my head in my hands
The sheriff he asked my why had 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, Ihung my head.
Verse 3.
Here in the courthouse the whole town is there
I see the judge high up in his chair
"Explain to the courtroom what went through your mind
And we'll ask the jury what verdict they'll find"
I said "I felt the power of death over life
I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife
I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead"
I hung my head, I hung my head.
Verse 4.
Early one morning with time to kill
I see the gallows up on the hill
And out in the distance, a trick of the brain
I see a lone rider crossing the plain
He's come to fetch me, to see what they done
And we'll ride together til Kingdom come
I pray for God's mercy for soon I'll be dead
I hung my head, I hung my head.
