Judy Collins - Tim Evans
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Tim Evans was a prisoner
G A
Within his prison cell
Em
And those who read about his crime
G A
They damned his soul to hell
Em D Em
Saying, "Go down, you murderer, go down"
[Verse 2]
For the murderer of his own dear wife
G A
And the killing of his child
Em
The jury found him guilty
G A
And the hanging judge he smiled
Em D Em
Saying, "Go down, you murderer, go down"
[Verse 3]
Tim Evans pleaded innocent
G A
And swore by him on high
Em
He never killed his own dear wife
G A
Or caused his child to die
Em D Em
Saying, "Go down, you murderer, go down"
[Verse 4]
They moved him out at 6 o'clock
G A
To his final flowery dell
Em
And day and night two guards were there
G A
And never left his cell
Em D Em
Saying, "Go down, you murderer, go down"
[Verse 5]
Sometimes they played cards with him
G A
Solo and Pontoon
Em
To stop him brooding on the ropes
G A
That was to be his doom
Em D Em
Saying, "Go down, you murderer, go down"
[Verse 6]
The Governor came in one day
G A
With the chaplain by his side
Em
Said, your appeal has been turned down
G A
Prepare yourself to die
Em D Em
Saying, "Go down, you murderer, go down"
[Verse 7]
Tim Evans walked in the prison yard
G A
The guards walked behind
Em
He saw the sky above the wall
G A
And knew no peace of mind
Em D Em
Saying, "Go down, you murderer, go down"
[Verse 8]
They fit the rope around his neck
G A
Buckle behind his ear
Em
The prison bell was tolling
G A
But Tim Evans did not hear
Em D Em
Saying, "Go down, you murderer, go down"
[Verse 9]
A thousand men were cursing
G A
And banging on the doors
Em
But Tim Evans could not hear them
G A
He was deaf for evermore
Em D Em
Saying, "Go down, you murderer, go down"
[Verse 10]
They sent Tim Evans to the drop
G A
For a crime he didn't do
Em
Twas Christy was the murderer
G A
The judge and jury too
Em D Em
Saying, "Go down, you murderer, go down"
