	G
"Oh,	help me in my weakness,"

	C/G	G
I heard the	drifter	say,

	G
As they	carried him from the courtroom

	C/G	G
And were taking	him a	way.

	G
"My	trip hasn't been a pleasant one

	C/G	G
And my time it	isn't	long,

And I still do not know

	C/G	G
What it was that	I've done	wrong."

	G
Well,	the judge, he cast his robe aside,

	C/G	G
A tear came	to his	eye,

	G
"You	fail to understand," he said,

	C/G	G
"Why must you	even	try?"

	G
Out	side, the crowd was stirring,

	C/G	G
You could hear it	from the	door.

Inside, the judge was stepping down,

	C/G	G
While the jury	cried for	more.

	G
"Oh,	stop that cursed jury,"

	C/G	G
Cried the att	endant and the	nurse,

	G
"The	trial was bad enough,

	C/G	G
But this is	ten times	worse."

	G
Just	then a bolt of lightning

	C/G	G
Struck the courthouse	out of	shape,

And while ev'rybody knelt to pray

	C/G	G
The drifter	did e	scape.

Cheers

Jack of Hearts
