Sting - I Hung My Head
Early one morning with time to killI borrowed Jeb's rifle and sat on the hillI saw a lone rider crossing the plainI drew a bread on him to practice my aimMy brother's rifle went off in my handA shot rang out across the landThe horse he kept running the rider was deadI hung my head I hung my headI set off running to wake from the dreamMy brother's rifle went into the streamI kept on running into the salt landsAnd that's where they found me, my head in my handsThe sheriff he asked me "Why had I run"Then it came to me just what I had doneAnd all for no reason, just one piece of leadI hung my head, I hung my headHere in the courthouse, the whole town is thereI see the judge high up in his chair"Explain to the courtroom what went through your mindAnd we'll ask the jury what verdict they find"I said "I felt the power of death over lifeI orphaned his children I widowed his wifeI beg their forgiveness I wish I was dead"I hung my head, I hung my headEarly one morning with time to killI see the gallows up on the hillAnd out in the distance a trick of the brainI see a lone rider crossing the plainHe's come to fetch me to see what they doneWe'll ride together til Kingdom comeI pray for God's mercy for soon I'll be deadI hung my head, I hung my head
