A D
I saw her standin on her
front lawn
A D
Just a-twirlin her baton
G D
Me and her went for a ride
sir
A D
And ten innocent people
died
A D
From the town of Lincoln
Nebraska
A D
With a sawed of .410 on my
lap
G D
Through to the badlands of
Wyoming
A D
I killed everything in my
path
/ A - - - / D - - - /
A D
I can’t say that I’m sorry
A D
For the things that we
done
G D
At least for a little
while sir
A D
Me and her we had us some
fun
A D
The jury brought in a
guilty verdict and the
A D
Judge he sentenced me to death
G D
Midnight in a prison
storeroom with
A D
Leather straps across my
chest
A D
Sheriff when the man pulls
that switch sir
A D
And snaps my poor head
back
G D
You make sure my pretty
baby
A D
is sittin’ right there on
my lap
/ A - - - / D - - - /
A D
They declared me unfit to
live
A D
Said into that great void
my soul’d be hurled
G D
They wanted to know why I
did what I did
A D
Well sir I guess there’s
just a meanness in this world
