I left my gal sad and lonely, left her standing in the rainI went down to the railroad, I caught myself a midnight trainI beat my way into Texas, landed in a gambling townI got myself into trouble, I shot the county sheriff downOh Lord, I shot the county sheriff downThey put the handcuffs on me, tied me with a ball and chainThey took me to El Paso, they tied me with a ball and chainThese prison bars all around me, no-one to call my bailMy heart's sad and so lonely, I want to get out of this jailOh Lord, I want to get out of this jailThe jury read the verdict, murder in the first degreeThe judge said, take this prisoner to the penitentiaryThey put the handcuffs on me, tied me with a ball and chainI'd left my home forever and I'll never see my gal againOh Lord, I'll never see my gal again Aus Songtexte Mania
