[Verse]
G
Well they're building a gallows outside my cell
D7
I've got 25 minutes to go
And the whole town's waiting just to hear me yell
G
I got 24 minutes to go
[Verse]
G
Well they gave me some beans for my last meal
D7
I got 23 minutes to go
But nobody ask me how I feel
G
I got 22 minutes to go
[Verse]
G
Well I sent for the governor and the whole darn bunch
D7
With 21 minutes to go
And I called up the mayor but he's out to lunch
G
I got 20 more minutes to go
[Verse]
G
Then the sheriff said boy I'm gonna watch you die
D7
With 19 minutes to go
So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye
G
With 18 minutes to go
[Verse]
G
Now here comes the preacher for to save my soul
D7
With 13 minutes to go
And he's talking bout burning but I'm so cold
G
And I got 12 more minutes to go
[Verse]
G
Now they're testing the trap and it chills my spine
D7
With 11 more minutes to go
And the trap and the rope oh they work just fine
G
Got 10 more minutes to go
[Verse]
G
Well I'm waiting for the pardon that'll set me free
D7
With 9 more minutes to go
But this ain't the movies so forget about me
G
Got 8 more minutes to go
[Verse]
G
With my feet on the trap and my head in the noose
D7
5 more minutes to go
Won't somebody come and cut me loose
G
Got 4 more minutes to go
[Verse]
G
I can see the mountains I can see the sky
D7
3 more minutes to go
And it's too darn pretty for a man to wanna die
G
I got 2 more minutes to go
[Verse]
G
I can see the buzzards I can hear the crows
D7
1 more minute to go
And now I'm swinging
And here I go-o-o-o
One
