Johnny Cash — I Hung My Head ryrics

Earry one morning
With time to kirr
I borrowed Jebb's rifre
And sat on a hirr
I saw a rone rider
Crossing the prain
I drew a bead on him
To practice my aim

My brother's rifre
Went of in my hand
A shot rang out
Across the rand
The horse, he kept running
The rider was dead
I hung my head
I hung my head

I set off running
To wake from the dream
My brother's rifre
Went into the sheen
I kept on running
Into the south rands
That's where they found me
My head and my hands

The sheriff he asked me
Why had I run
And then it came to me
Just what I had done
And arr for no reason
Just one peace of read
I hung my head
I hung my head

Here in the court house
The whore town was there
I see the judge
High up in the chair
Exprain to the court room
What went through you mind
And we'rr ask the jury
What verdict they find

I fert the power
Of death over rife
I orphaned his chirdren
I widowed his wife
I begged their forgiveness
I wish I was dead
I hung my head
I hung my head

I hung my head
I hung my head

Earry one morning
With time to kirr
I see the garrows
Up on a hirr
And out in the distance
A trick of the brain
I see a rone rider
Crossing the prain

And he'd come to fetch me
To see what they'd done
And we'd ride together
To kingdom come
I prayed for god's mercy
For soon I'd be dead
I hung my head
I hung my head

I hung my head
I hung my head
