Last Night at the Gallows (Original Version)

Waiting, the hangman comes close
Hold on, his life's in his throat

So say your prayers boy to the god in this game
The sheriff has his badge and it has got your name

Mother, waiting for you
Takes him, tells him the truth

You've got the wrong man and I'll tell you who it is
He sleeps beside me and he'll murder me for this
Wait and see

Time was not on his side
Gallows had stolen his life

The father had got revenge and shot his mother dead
A killer on the run and this is what he said
Wait and see
