Bring me my pistol
Please rouse the boss
I wanna kill ev'rybody
Won't be a poor boy lost
Poor boy, lost
Poor boy, lost
Poor boy, lost
On a Monday I was arrested
On a Tuesday I was tried
An the jury found me guilty
An I hung my head an cried
Lord, an cried
Lord, an cried
Lord, an cried
Lord, an cried
(guitar)
'Till I asked the judge
What will be my fine?
Here's a pick and a shovel
Get down Joe Brown's coal mine
Coal mine, coal mine
Coal mine, coal mine
Coal mine
Be light on me judge
I ain't been here befo'
Give ya niney-nine years
Don't come back here, no mo'
No mo', no mo'
No mo', no mo'
How long?
(guitar)
Be light on me judge
I ain't been here befo'
Give ya niney-nine years
Don't come back here, no mo'
No mo', no mo'
No mo',
How, Lord
So, long.
