Testo Austin Prison

Austin Prison They had a warrant out form e all over the country. And I was tryin? to beat the raps in Idaho; I was brekin? into a schoolhouse Sunday mornin? without warnin?, When I saw the Sheriff comin? for me slow from down below. His steel grey eyes were blazin? when he saw me, His hand was on his gun when he rode up; He said: ?You killed that woman, I know you shot her, why?d you do it? I?m taking you to Austin, then I?m gonna lock you up.? Well, he tied me with a blow iron the next mornin?, and he had me deep in Texas the next day. A crazy, screamin? lynch mob waited in the streets of Austin. But he put me in the jailhouse, and he threw away the key. A jury found me guilty three months later, twelve evil men with murder in their eyes. They even took me out and said: ?Now, show us where you killed her!? And that wicked Judge said: ?Now, I hereby sentence you to die.? But here I am quite a way from Austin Prison; my friend, the jailer, handed me a file. Now, all I want between me and there, are a lot of friendly people, and miles, and miles, and miles, and miles, and miles, and miles.
