I saw her standin' on her front lawn just twirlin' her baton
G D A D
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died
A D A D
From the town of Lincoln Nebraska with a sawed-off .410 on my lap
G D A D
Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path
[Harmonica] A D
A D A D
I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done
G D A D
At least for a little while sir me and her we had us some fun
A D A D
The jury brought in a guilty verdict and the judge he sentenced me to death
G D A D
Midnight in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest
A D A D
Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir and snaps my poor head back
G D A D
You make sure my pretty baby is sittin' right there on my lap
[Harmonica] A D A D
A D A D
They declared me unfit to live said into that great void my soul be hurled
G D
They wanted to know why I did what I did
A D
well sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world
