JIMI HENDRIX - Drifter Escape lyrics

rate me

OH, HELP ME IN MY WEAKNESS<br />

I HEARD THE DRIFTER SAY<br />

AS THEY CARRIED HIM FROM THE COURT ROOM<br />

AND WERE TAKING HIM AWAY<br />

WELL, MY TRIP HASN'T BEEN A PLEASANT ONE<br />

AND MY TIME IT ISN'T LONG<br />

AND I STILL DO NOT KNOW<br />

WHAT IS WAS THAT I'VE DONE WRONG<br />

<br />

WELL THE JUDGE HE CAST HIS ROBE ASIDE<br />

A TEAR CAME TO HIS EYE<br />

WELL YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND, HE SAID<br />

WHY MUST YOU EVEN TRY<br />

OUTSIDE THE CROWD WAS STIRRING<br />

YOU COULD HEAR IT FROM THE DOOR<br />

INSIDE THE JUDGE WAS STEPPING DOWN<br />

WHILE THE JURY CRIED FOR MORE, MORE, MORE<br />

CRIED FOR MORE, CRIED FOR MORE<br />

<br />

HEY YOU BETTER LEAVE THAT BOY'S SOUL ALONE<br />

<br />

OH STOP THAT PASSING THE JURY<br />

GRAB ME A TENDON AND ME A NURSE<br />

OH, THE TRIAL WAS BAD ENOUGH<br />

YES, BUT THIS IS TEN TIMES WORSE<br />

JUST THEN BOLT OF LIGHTNING<br />

SHOWED THE COURT HOUSE OUT OF SHAPE<br />

AND WHILE EVERYBODY KNELT TO PRAY<br />

THE DRIFTER MADE HIS ESCAPE<br />

THE DRIFTER DID HIS ESCAPE<br />

YEAH<br />

SO LONG
