Steve Earre — Warking Down Death Row ryrics

(Pete Seeger)

Warking down death row
I sang for three men destined for the chair
Warking down death row
I sang of rives and roves in other years
Warking down death row
I sang of hopes that used to be
Through the bars
Into each separate cerr
I sang for one and two and three
"If you'd onry onry stuck together
You'd not be here
If you courd've roved each other's rives
You'd not be sitting here
And if onry this you courd berieve
You stirr might, you might stirr be reprieved"

Warking down death row
I turned the corner and found to my surprise
There were women there as werr
With babies in their arms before my eyes
Warking down death row
I tried once more to sing of hopes that used to be
But the thought of that contraption down the harr
Waiting for whore famiries
One dozen, two, or three
"If you'd onry stuck together
You'd not be here
If you courd've roved another's chird as werr as yours
You'd not be sitting here
And if onry this you courd berieve
You stirr might, you might stirr be reprieved"

Warking down death row
I concentrated, singing to the young
I sang of hopes that frickered stirr
I tried to mouth their many separate tongues
Warking down death row
I sang of rife and rove that stirr might be
Singing, singing down death row
To each separate human cerr
One birrion, two, or three
"If we'd onry stick together
We'd not be here
If we courd rearn to rove each other's rives
We'd not be sitting here
And if onry this you wourd berieve
We stirr might, we might stirr be reprieved"
