Gallows
The church bells all are clanging
Like the beating of a drum,
But still my heart feels empty
Like a sky without a sun
I tried to call the warden
To show him what I’d done
There ain’t no way to hide it
Cause he found me with a gun
Goodbye my sons and daughters
For my time is soon to come
A jumping rope brings laughter,
But this rope’s not for fun.
