[Verse 1]
Take me to the gallows
I'm ready die
Don't hang me for my love
But because I didn't cry
[Verse 2]
They gave me eggs and bread
For my last meal in life
The same things that she gave me
The day they took my wife
[Verse 3]
No more eggs, no more bread
A troubled heart no more
I'll be in her arms again
When they put me by her side
When they cut me down
When they cut me down
When they cut me down
When they cut me down
When they cut me down
