VERSE 1
They've taken me to th gallows, Mother
Their goin' to hang me high
Th people will gather around 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 th air
VERSE 2
It is a bright an' a beautiful day
Th sun is rising high
It is a bright an' a beautiful day
Th sun is rising high
It is a wonderful day t' live
A gloomy one to die
