"G;Oh, help me in my weakness,"
I heard the C/Gdrifter Gsay,
As they Gcarried him from the courtroom
And were taking C/Ghim aGway.
&quoGt;My trip hasn't been a pleasant one
And my time it C/Gisn't Glong,
And I still do not know
What it was that C/GI've done Gwrong."
Well, Gthe judge, he cast his robe aside,
A tear came C/Gto his Geye,
"G;You fail to understand," he said,
"Why mustC/G you Geven try'"
OutGside, the crowd was stirring,
You could hear it C/Gfrom the Gdoor.
Inside, the judge was stepping down,
While the jury C/Gcried for Gmore.
"G;Oh, stop that cursed jury,"
Cried the attC/Gendant and the Gnurse,
"G;The trial was bad enough,
But this is C/Gten times Gworse."
Just Gthen a bolt of lightning
Struck the courthouse C/Gout of Gshape,
And while ev'rybody knelt to pray
The drifter C/Gdid eGscape.
Cheers
Jack of Hearts
