I Hung My Head Johnny Cash Early one morning ~ With time to kill I borrowed Jebbs rifle ~ And sat on a hill I saw a lone rider ~ Crossing the plain I drew a bead on him ~ To practice my aim My brothers rifle ~ Went off in my hand A shot rang out ~Across the land The horse, he kept running ~The rider was dead I hung my head I hung my head I set off running ~ To wake from the dream My brothers rifle ~ Went into the sheen I kept on running ~ Into the south lands Thats where they found me ~ My head and my hands The sheriff, he asked me ~ Why had I run And then it came to me ~Just what I had done And all for no reason ~ Just one peace of lead I hung my head I hung my head Here in the court house ~ The whole town was there I see the judge ~ High up in the chair Explain to the court room ~ What went through you mind And well ask the jury ~ What verdict they find I felt the power ~ Of death over life I orphaned his children ~I widowed his wife I begged their forgiveness ~ I wish I was dead I hung my head I hung my head I hung my head I hung my head Early one morning ~ With time to kill I see the gallows ~ Up on a hill And out in the distance ~ A trick of the brain I see a lone rider ~ Crossing the plain And hed come to fetch me ~ To see what theyd done And wed ride together ~ To kingdom come I prayed for gods mercy ~ For soon Id be dead I hung my head I hung my head I hung my head I hung my head
