VERSE 1
They've taken me to th gallows, Mother
Their going to hang me high
Th people will gather beneath me there
An' watch me till I die
Th crazy mob will shout an' groan
Th priest will read a prayer
Th trap will fall beneath my feet
An' leave me in the air
VERSE 2
It is a bright an' a beautiful day
Th sun is shining high
It is a bright an' a beautiful day
Th sun is shining high
It is a wonderful day to live
An' a gloomy one to die
