[Gadd9]Early one morning with [Cadd9]time to kill
I [Emadd9]borrowed Jeb's rifle and [Cadd9]sat on the hill
I [Gadd9]saw a lone rider [Cadd9]crossing the plain
I [Emadd9]drew a bead on him to [Cadd9]practice my aim
[Am]My brother's rifle [Dadd11/C]went off in my hand
[D7]A shot rang out a[Gadd9]cross the land
The [Cadd9]horse he kept running, the [Emadd9]rider was dead
I [Gadd9]hung my head, I [Cadd9]hung my head
I set off running to wake from the dream
And my brother's rifle went into the stream
I kept on running into the salt lands
And that's where they found me, my head in my hands
The sheriff he asked me "Why had I run"
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 is 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 said "I felt the power of death over life
I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife
I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead"
I hung my head, I hung my head
Early one morning with time to kill
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
He's come to fetch me to see what they done
We'll ride together til Kingdom come
I pray for God's mercy for soon I'll be dead
I hung my head, I hung my head
