Bilingual
I saw her standin' on her front lawn
Just a twirlin' her baton
Me and her went for a ride, sir
ย
And ten innocent people died
From the town of Lincoln, Nebraska
With a sawed off 410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of Wyoming
I killed everything in my path
ย
I can't say that I'm sorry
For the things that we done
At least for a little while, sir
Me and her we had us some fun
Now the jury brought in a guilty verdict
And the judge he sentenced me to death
Midnight in prison storeroom
With leather straps across my chest
Sheriff, when the man pulls that switch, sir
ย
And snaps my poor head back
You make sure my pretty baby
Is sittin' right there on my lap
ย
They declared me unfit to live
Said into that great void, my soul'd be hurled
They want to know why I did what I did
Sir, I guess there's just a meanness in this world
ย
