Judy Collins - Tim Evans
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Tim Evans was a prisoner
WithGin his prison Acell
And Emthose who read about his crime
They Gdamned his soul to Ahell
Saying, "Go Emdown, you Dmurderer, go Emdown"
[Verse 2]
For the murderer of his own dear wife
And the Gkilling of his Achild
The Emjury found him guilty
And the Ghanging judge he Asmiled
Saying, "Go Emdown, you Dmurderer, go Emdown"
[Verse 3]
Tim Evans pleaded innocent
And Gswore by him on Ahigh
He Emnever killed his own dear wife
Or Gcaused his child to Adie
Saying, "Go Emdown, you Dmurderer, go Emdown"
[Verse 4]
They moved him out at 6 o'clock
To his Gfinal flowery Adell
And Emday and night two guards were there
And Gnever left his Acell
Saying, "Go Emdown, you Dmurderer, go Emdown"
[Verse 5]
Sometimes they played cards with him
GSolo and PonAtoon
To Emstop him brooding on the ropes
That Gwas to be his Adoom
Saying, "Go Emdown, you Dmurderer, go Emdown"
[Verse 6]
The Governor came in one day
With the Gchaplain by his Aside
Said, Emyour appeal has been turned down
PreGpare yourself to Adie
Saying, "Go Emdown, you Dmurderer, go Emdown"
[Verse 7]
Tim Evans walked in the prison yard
The Gguards walked beAhind
He Emsaw the sky above the wall
And Gknew no peace of Amind
Saying, "Go Emdown, you Dmurderer, go Emdown"
[Verse 8]
They fit the rope around his neck
GBuckle behind his Aear
The Emprison bell was tolling
But Tim GEvans did not Ahear
Saying, "Go Emdown, you Dmurderer, go Emdown"
[Verse 9]
A thousand men were cursing
And Gbanging on the Adoors
But Tim EmEvans could not hear them
He was Gdeaf for everAmore
Saying, "Go Emdown, you Dmurderer, go Emdown"
[Verse 10]
They sent Tim Evans to the drop
For a Gcrime he didn't Ado
Twas EmChristy was the murderer
The Gjudge and jury Atoo
Saying, "Go Emdown, you Dmurderer, go Emdown"
