《Tim Evans》歌词

[00:00:00] Tim Evans - Judy Collins

[00:00:00] Written by：Ewan MacColl

[00:00:04] Tim Evans was a prisoner within his prison cell

[00:00:09] And those who read about his crime

[00:00:11] They damned his soul to hell

[00:00:14] Saying go down you murderer go down

[00:00:20] For the murder of his own dear wife

[00:00:23] And the killing of his child

[00:00:25] The jury found him guilty and

[00:00:28] The hanging judge he smiled

[00:00:30] Saying go down you murderer go down

[00:00:35] Tim Evans pleaded innocent and swore

[00:00:38] By him on high

[00:00:40] He never killed his own dear wife

[00:00:42] Or caused his child to die

[00:00:45] Saying go down you murderer go down

[00:00:50] They moved him out at 6 o'clock to

[00:00:53] His final flowery dell

[00:00:55] And day and night two guards were

[00:00:57] There and never left his cell

[00:01:00] Saying go down you murderer go down

[00:01:05] SomeTimes they played cards

[00:01:07] With him solo and pontoon

[00:01:10] To stop him brooding on the rope

[00:01:12] That was to be his doom

[00:01:15] Saying go down you murderer go down

[00:01:20] The governor came in one day

[00:01:22] With a chaplain by his side

[00:01:25] Said your appeal has been turned

[00:01:27] Down prepare yourself to die

[00:01:29] Saying go down you murderer go down

[00:01:35] Tim Evans walked in the prison garden

[00:01:37] The guards walked behind

[00:01:40] He saw the sky above the wall

[00:01:43] And knew no peace of mind

[00:01:47] Saying go down you murderer go down

[00:01:52] They fixed the rope around his neck

[00:01:54] Buckled behind his ears

[00:01:58] The prison bell was tolling

[00:02:00] But Tim Evans did not hear

[00:02:02] Saying go down you murderer go down

[00:02:08] A thousand men were cursing

[00:02:10] And banging on their doors

[00:02:14] But Tim Evans did not hear them

[00:02:16] He was deaf for evermore

[00:02:19] Saying go down you murderer go down

[00:02:26] They sent Tim Evans to the drop

[00:02:29] For a crime he didn't do

[00:02:32] It was Christie was the

[00:02:34] Murderer the judge and jury too

[00:02:39] Saying go down you murderer go down
