Sting - I Hung My Head слова песни
Early one morningWith time to killI borrowed Jeb`s rifleAnd sat on the hillI saw a lone riderCrossing the plainI drew a bead on himTo practice my aimMy brother`s rifleWent off in my handA shot rang outAcross the landThe horse he kept runningThe rider was deadI hung my head I hung my headI set off runningTo wake from the dreamMy brother`s rifleWent into the streamI kept on runningInto the salt landsAnd that`s where they found meMy head in my handsThe sheriff he asked meWhy had I runThen it came to meJust what I had doneAnd all for no reasonJust one piece of leadI hung my head I hung my headHere in the courthouseThe whole town is thereI see the judgeHigh up in his chair"Explain to the courtroomWhat went through your mindAnd we`ll ask the juryWhat verdict they find"I said "I felt the powerOf death over lifeI orphaned his childrenI widowed his wifeI beg their forgivenessI wish I was dead"I hung my head I hung my headEarly one morningWith time to killI see the gallowsUp on the hillAnd out in the distanceA trick of the brainI see a lone riderCrossing the plainHe`s come to fetch meTo see what they doneWe`ll ride together`Til kingdom comeI pray for God`s mercyFor soon I`ll be deadI hung my head I hung my head
