Вступление
[Verse 1]
Em
Tim Evans was a prisoner,
D
Fast in his prison cell
Em
And those who read about his crimes,
G Bm
They damned his soul to hell,
Em D Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 2]
Em
For the murder of his own dear wife
D
And the killing of his own child
Em
The jury found him guilty
G Bm
And the hangin' judge, he smiled.
Em D Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 3]
Em
Tim Evans walked in the prison yard
D
And the screws, they walked behind
Em
And he saw the sky above the wall
G Bm
But he knew no peace of mind.
Em D Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 4]
Em
Sometimes they played draughts with him
D
And solo and pontoon,
Em
To stop him brooding on the rope
G Bm
That was to be his doom.
Em D Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 5]
Em
They came for him at eight o'clock
D
And the chaplain read a prayer
Em
And then they marched him to that place
G Bm
Where the hangman did prepare.
Em D Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 6]
Em
They fixed a rope around his neck
D
And a washer behind his ear.
Em
And the prison bell was tolling
G Bm
But Tim Evans did not hear.
Em D Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 7]
Em
A thousand lags were cursing
D
And a-banging on the doors
Em
Tim Evans did not hear them,
G Bm
He was deaf for ever more.
Em D Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
[Verse 8]
Em
It was Christy who was the murderer
D
And everybody knew,
Em
They sent Tim Evans to the drop
G Bm
For a crime he did not do.
Em D Em
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down."
