By the rivers down south There's gonna be a hangin' He took the life of another man's wife The evidence was damning Let me simplify Justice will be served Let no one stand in our way Let no one be concerned In his eyes there was no regret But you could feel the snap of his neck They had all been friends The couple and this man And there was something wrong With the story at hand But I was blind with rage And I was blind with hate But now I had my doubts But now it was too late In his eyes there was no more pain I think we'll have ourselves a hangin' again Like a bird on a wire One day they'll come for me But I have no fear I only did what I thought was right Cast a stone if you dare And so I stand alone Before this great debate But beware my words As you seal my fate In my eyes there was no regret But you could feel the snap of my neck Like a bird on a wire In his eyes there was no more pain I don't think this brid'll fly again By the rivers down south They had a bunch of hangings They took the lives of everyone there You know it was quite savage But they were blind with rage And they were blind with hate And so I stood alone Like a bird on a wire
