A E A I saw her standinʼ on her front lawn E A Just twirlinʼ her baton D A Me and her went for a ride sir E A And ten innocent people died From the town of Lincoln Nebraska With a sawed of 410 on my lap Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path I canʼt say that Iʼm sorry For the things that we done At least for a little while sir Me and her we Had us some fun The jury brought in A guilty verdict and the Judge he sentenced me to death Midnight in a prison storeroom with Leather straps across my chest Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir And snaps my poor head back You make sure my pretty baby Is sittinʼ right there On my lap They declared me unfit to live Said into that great void my soulʼd be hurled They wanted to know why I did what I did Well sir I guess thereʼs just a meanness in this world
