i hung my head - endless blue lyrics

early one morning with time to k!ll
i borrowed jebb’s rifle and sat on the hill
i saw a lone rider crossing the plain
i drew a bead on him to practice my aim
my brother’s rifle went off in my hand
a shot rang out across the land
the horse, he kept running * the rider was dead
i hung my head, i hung my head

i set off running to wake from the dream
my brother’s rifle went into the sheen
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 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, i hung my head

here in the courthouse the whole town was 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 find”
i felt the power of death over life
i orphaned his children * i widowed his wife
i begged their forgiveness * i wish i was dead
i hung my head, i hung my head
i hung my head, i hung my head
early one morning with time to k!ll
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
and he’d come to fetch me to see what they’d done
and we’ll ride together to kingdom come
i pray for god’s mercy for soon i’ll be dead
i hung my head, i hung my head
i hung my head, i hung my head

- endless blue lyrics
