Вступление
[Verse 1]
Em
Tim Evans was a prisoner,
D/F#
Fast in his prison cell
Em
And those who read about his crimes,
G D/F#
They damned his soul to hell,
Em D/F# Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 2]
Em
For the murder of his own dear wife
D/F#
And the killing of his own child
Em
The jury found him guilty
G D/F#
And the hangin' judge, he smiled.
Em D/F# Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 3]
Em
Tim Evans pleaded innocent
D/F#
And he swore by Him on high,
Em
That he never killed his own dear wife
G D/F#
Nor caused his child to die.
Em D/F# Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 4]
Em
The governor came to see him
D/F#
And the chaplain by his side,
Em
Said, "Your appeal has been turned down,
G D/F#
Prepare yourself to die."
Em D/F# Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 5]
Em
So they moved him out of C-block
D/F#
To his final flowery dell,
Em
And day and night two screws were there
G D/F#
And they never left his cell.
Em D/F# Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 6]
Em
Sometimes they played draughts with him
D/F#
And solo and pontoon,
Em
To stop him brooding on the rope
G D/F#
That was to be his doom.
Em D/F# Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 7]
Em
They brought his grub in on a tray,
D/F#
There was eggs and meat and ham,
Em
And all the snout that he could smoke
G D/F#
Was there at his command.
Em D/F# Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 8]
Em
Tim Evans walked in the prison yard
D/F#
And the screws, they walked behind
Em
And he saw the sky above the wall
G D/F#
But he knew no peace of mind.
Em D/F# Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 9]
Em
They came for him at eight o'clock
D/F#
And the chaplain read a prayer
Em
And then they marched him to that place
G D/F#
Where the hangman did prepare.
Em D/F# Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 10]
Em
The fixed the rope around his neck
D/F#
And a washer behind his ear.
Em
And the prison bell was tolling
G D/F#
But Tim Evans did not hear.
Em D/F# Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 11]
Em
A thousand lags were cursing
D/F#
And a-banging on the doors
Em
Tim Evans did not hear 'em,
G D/F#
He was deaf for ever more.
Em D/F# Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 12]
Em
It was Christy was the murderer
D/F#
And everybody knew
Em
They sent Tim Evans to the drop
G D/F#
For a crime he didn't do.
Em D/F# Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderers, go down."
