Twistin' - Slaid Cleaves[00:00:00]

Written by：Blakely/Cleaves[00:00:01]

Years ago on an april day[00:00:13]

A crowd gathered from miles around[00:00:19]

Over a thousand I heard one say[00:00:25]

All around me on the square in town[00:00:32]

Ladies dressed up in their best[00:00:38]

Kids ran around and played[00:00:44]

They all come to see me I guessed[00:00:50]

Me and the sheriff and a man in chains[00:00:56]

The reverend sam began a prayer[00:01:03]

To the women the men the boys and girls[00:01:09]

We are graveyard sons and daughters[00:01:15]

Passing through an unfriendly world[00:01:22]

A few last words and down he goes[00:01:28]

Teeth bared in an awful grin[00:01:34]

A cheer rises up from the crowd[00:01:41]

As I hold him twisting in the wind[00:01:47]

Men held up their babies to see[00:01:57]

Reporters jotted down a tale[00:02:03]

Hawkers brought out lemonade[00:02:09]

And the ladies headed for the hangin' day sale[00:02:15]

From time to time these folks would come[00:02:22]

And all but one would walk away[00:02:29]

I'd shudder as the rope snapped tight[00:02:35]

But I got used to hanging day[00:02:41]

Now they don't gather round no more[00:02:48]

Though I'm tall and stouter still[00:02:54]

Now they do it all behind closed doors[00:03:01]

They say it's a better way to kill[00:03:07]

The reverend sam began a prayer[00:03:13]

To the women the men the boys and girls[00:03:19]

'We are graveyard sons and daughters[00:03:26]

Passing through an unfriendly world'[00:03:33]

A few last words and down he goes[00:03:39]

Teeth bared in an awful grin[00:03:46]

A cheer rises up from the crowd[00:03:52]

As I hold him twisting in the wind[00:03:58]

One more poor boy dead and gone[00:04:05]

Twisting in the wind[00:04:13]
