D              C
Gather you all and listen here
C                    D
I'll tell you a tale if you land me an ear
D               C
I rode a horse through many a town,
C                  D
but the devil rode me down to the ground
D              C
I was to marry a very rich girl,
C           D
I loved her as only I can
D                     C
But the father was shot and his gold was stoled
C        D
Now I'm Devil's man na na na

Now I sing a tale of woe

Through the bars of a country jail na na na na na na

D              C
I walked into the room one night
C            D
I found her mother and gun
D                     C
Well the man was dead and I kneeled and cried

Sheriff ran in and said: "I'm holding you, son"

Through the day I sing and play
C          D
The time is on my side
D                 C           D
But when the moon and stars come out I lay me down and cry
D            C
For the saviour, mar I lied
C           D
Now I will not have a ride
D                  C
Before the window the scaffold was made
C           D
On the morrow I will hang
