G
Well, theyʼre buildin the gallows outside my cell and Iʼve got 25
D
minutes to go. And the whole townʼs waitin just to hear me yell,
Iʼve got 24
G
minutes to go. Well, they gave me some beans for my last meal
with 23 minutes
D G
to go, but nobody asked me how I feel, Iʼve got 22 minutes to go.
Well, I
D
sent for the governor and the whole darn bunch with 21 minutes
to go, and I
G
called up the mayor but heʼs out to lunch, I got 20 more minutes
to go.
D
Then the sheriff said boy, Iʼm gonna watch you die with 19 minutes
to go, so
G E
I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye with 18 minutes to go.
Now here
B
comes the preacher for to save my soul with 13 minutes to go,
and heʼs talkin
E
bout burnin but Iʼm so cold, 12 more minutes to go. Well,
theyʼre testin the
B
trap and it chills my spine, 11 more minutes go, and the trap
and the rope,
E
they work just fine, 10 more minutes to go. Well, Iʼm waitin
for the pardon
B
thatʼll set me free with 9 more minutes to go, but this ainʼt
the movies, so
E G
forget about me, 8 more minutes to go. With my feet on the trap
and my head
D
in the noose, 5 more minutes to go. Wonʼt somebody come
and cut me loose? 4
G
more minutes to go. I can see the mountain I can see the sky,
3 more minutes
D G
to go, and itʼs too darn pretty for a man to die,
2 more minutes to go. I can
D
see the buzzards, I can hear the crows, 1 more minute to go,
and now Iʼm swingin and here I goooooooooo...
