flatt and scruggs - Last Public Hanging In West Virginia слова песни




Rock of ages cleft for meNow that could be the voice of John F Morgan in the Ripley jailhouse singin` hymnsWell ol` Johnny might just be singin` hymn this mornin`Cause this is gonna be a hangin` day for himNow people say that Johnny was a bad man and that he had a name for bein` meanHe cut a hatchet one cold weary morning he killed two children and the widow GreenBy a thousand people gathered there in Ripley invited by the sheriff Jay O ShimmHavin` fun and drinking moonshine liquor and listenin` to ol` Johnny singin` hymnThe day don`t call in Ripley West Virginia the scaffold stood in silence in a fieldJohnny kept on singin` in the jailhouse waiting there to eat his final mealThen rumor started flying through the gatheringThat John F Morgan might get his reprieveThe people started yelling toward the sheriffAfraid they`d miss for all they come to seeBut Jay O Shimm the sheriff of Jackson CountyAfraid that such a thing could have been doneSaid I said there was gonna be a hangin` and I still mean it there`s a gonna be oneThey led John Morgan from the Ripley jailhouseAnd he rode through the happy laughin` crowdBut when John Morgan stepped upon the scaffoldThey grew quiet when he lift his head and bowedThey listened to the preacher say the last wordsThey fixed the news and tied John Morgan`s handThe signal came and someone sprang the dead`s routAnd sent John Morgan to another landThe last public hanging in old West Virginia a true story written in this songOn the sixteen of December in fifteen ninety sevenJohn F Morgan paid the price of doing wrong
