The Lonesome River Band - Prisoners Lament lyrics
Verse 1 When I was young and did not care I was a killer man, Sam Colt pistol in my hand I shot my woman and her daughter fair Verse 2 The jury heard my mother’s plea Oh spare his life today, Oh don’t take my boy away He’s my only son, Judge please set him free Verse 3 The judge stared down at me and smiled Then he sentenced me to die despite my mother’s cry For the death of Molly Jones and her child Verse 4 Big Sandy Prison I did go Breaking rocks and ground, Hammer swinging, cold steel sound Makes a man wish for the Hell fires down below Verse 5 With shackles and a ball and chain I paid the last five years soaked in blood, stained with tears I’ve cursed the sun while praying for the rain Verse 6 I see visions of my dreadful crime Outside the hanging tree where I’ll finally be set free From the scenes of the past that haunt my mind |
