Karaoké I Hung My Head Johnny Cash

Early one morning with time to kill

I borrowed Jeb's rifle and sat on the hill

I saw a lone rider crossing the plain

I drew a bead on him to practice my aim

My brother's 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 brother's rifle went into the sheen

I kept on running into the south lands

That's where they found me my head in 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 piece of lead

I hung my head

I hung my head

Here in the courthouse the whole town was there

I see the judge high up in his chair

Explain to the courtroom what went through your mind

And we'll 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 the hill

And out in the distance a trick of the brain

I see a lone rider crossing the plain

And he'd come to fetch me

To see what they'd done

And we'll ride together to kingdom come

I pray for God's mercy for soon I'll be dead

I hung my head

I hung my head

I hung my head

I hung my head
