"The Verdict" lyrics
"The Verdict"
John Lee, the jury has found you guilty of willful murder
And the sentence of the court upon you
Is that you be taken from this place to a lawful prison
And there to a place of execution
And there suffer death by hanging
And that your body be buried within the precincts of the prison
In which you shall have been last confined
And may the Lord have mercy on your soul

Don't you hollow don't you shallow...
Jackson C. Frank - "Don't Look Back" Don't look back over your shoulder
Keep your eye on freedom's shore

Graham Nash - "I Used To Be A King" I used to be a King
And everything around me turned to gold
I thought I had everything
Now I'm left without a hand to hold
But it's all right, I'm okay how are you?
For what it's worth I must say I...
