The lonesomest sound, boys,
|
I ever heard sound, boys,
|
On the stroke of midnight,
|
Hear the curfew blow.
|
|
My buddy will hang, boys,
|
On the hangman's rope, boys,
|
On the Gallus Pole, boys,
|
When the curfew blows.
|
|
Hear the curfew blowing,
|
Hear the curfew blowing,
|
In the coal black midnight,
|
Hear the curfew blow.
|
|
The sheriff's men, boys,
|
Are on my trail, boys,
|
In the midnight wind, boys,
|
Hear the curfew blow.
|
|
And when they catch me,
|
My body will hang, boys,
|
On the Gallus Pole, boys,
|
When the curfew blows.
|
|
Hear the curfew blowing,
|
Hear the curfew blowing,
|
In the coal black midnight,
|
Hear the curfew blow.
