《Tim Evans》歌词

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

[00:00:02] 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 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 and the killing of his child

[00:00:25] The jury found him guilty and the hanging judge he smiled

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

[00:00:35] Tim Evans pleaded innocent and swore by him on high

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

[00:00:55] And day and night two guards were there and never left his cell

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

[00:01:05] SomeTimes they played cards with him solo and pontoon

[00:01:10] To stop him brooding on the rope 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 with a chaplain by his side

[00:01:24] Said your appeal has been turned 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 the guards walked behind

[00:01:40] He saw the sky above the wall and knew no peace of mind

[00:01:46] Saying go down you murderer go down

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

[00:01:57] The prison bell was tolling but Tim Evans did not hear

[00:02:03] Saying go down you murderer go down

[00:02:08] A thousand men were cursing and banging on their doors

[00:02:14] But Tim Evans did not hear them he was deaf for evermore

[00:02:20] Saying go down you murderer go down

[00:02:26] They sent Tim Evans to the drop for a crime he didn't do

[00:02:32] It was christie was the murderer the judge and jury too

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