"C;Oh, help me in my weakness,"
I heard the F/Cdrifter Csay,
As they Ccarried him from the courtroom
And were taking F/Chim aCway.
&quoCt;My trip hasn't been a pleasant one
And my time it F/Cisn't Clong,
And I still do not know
What it was that F/CI've done Cwrong."
Well, Cthe judge, he cast his robe aside,
A tear came F/Cto his Ceye,
"C;You fail to understand," he said,
"Why mustF/C you Ceven try?"
OutCside, the crowd was stirring,
You could hear it F/Cfrom the Cdoor.
Inside, the judge was stepping down,
While the jury F/Ccried for Cmore.
"C;Oh, stop that cursed jury,"
Cried the attF/Cendant and the Cnurse,
"C;The trial was bad enough,
But this is F/Cten times Cworse."
Just Cthen a bolt of lightning
Struck the courthouse F/Cout of Cshape,
And while ev'rybody knelt to pray
The drifter F/Cdid eCscape.
Cheers
Jack of Hearts
