Tim Evans - Judy Collins[00:00:01]

Written by：Ewan MacColl[00:00:02]

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

And those who read about his crime they damned his soul to hell[00:00:09]

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

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

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

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

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

He never killed his own dear wife or caused his child to die[00:00:40]

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

They moved him out at 6 o'clock to his final flowery dell[00:00:50]

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

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

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

Just to stop him brooding on the rope that was to be his doom[00:01:10]

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

The governor came in one day with a chaplain by his side[00:01:20]

Said your appeal has been turned down prepare yourself to die[00:01:25]

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

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

He saw the sky above the wall and knew no peace of mind[00:01:41]

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

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

The prison bell was tolling but Tim Evans did not hear[00:01:58]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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