On the night they killed Faye Tucker
|
I was gambling away my last dime
|
Well I pulled down the lever
|
And I sent up a prayer
|
That my luck would not be denied
|
|
My luck would not be denied
|
|
Roll out the head of Faye Tucker
|
And never you mind what they say
|
You may be reborn but its all just for scorn
|
And that's what you'll take to the grave
|
That's what you'll take to the grave
|
|
Well the minister wants you to live now
|
And the governor wants you to fry
|
And whatever it was that you thought might occur
|
They got something else in their minds
|
|
The got something else in their minds
|
|
If you live they gonna make you a campaigner
|
If you die they gonna make you a grave
|
Either way it goes down
|
Well your life's not your own
|
|
And that's why killin' don't pay
|
That's why killin' don't pay
|
|
I thought I heard the angel's bells
|
But they were just the hounds of hell
|
|
What did you learn Faye Tucker
|
What will take from this world
|
|
Well mercy could prove us
|
But nothing would move us
|
|
To rise above just being cruel
|
To rise above just being cruel
|
