He came at me with a big jack-knife I went for him with lead, And when the fight was over, poor boy, He lay on the ground cold and dead. They took me to the big jail-house, The months and months rolled by; The jury found me guilty, poor boy. And the judge said, "You must die." "Oh do you bring me silver, poor boy, or do you bring me gold ?" "I bring you neither." said the man, "I bring you a hangman's fold." "'Oh, do you bring me pardon, poor boy, To turn me a-loose?" "I bring you nothing," said the man, "Except a hangman's noose." And yet they call this justice, poor boy. Then justice let it be! I only killed a man who was A-flxin' to kill me.
