they came for him one winter's night.
2 2 -3 -3 -4 -3 3 3
arrested, he was bound.
2 2 -3 -3 -4 -3 3
they said there'd been a robbery,
2 2 -3 -3 -4 -3 3 3
his pistol had been found.
6* 6* 5 -3 3 -3
they marched him to the station house,
2 2 -3 -3 -4 -3 3 3
he waited for the dawn.
2 2 -3 -3 -4 -3 3
and as they led him to the dock,
2 2 -3 -3 -3 -3 3 3
he knew that he'd been wronged.
6* 6* 5 -3 3 -3
"you stand accused of robbery,"

a prisoner's life for him there'll be.
