Kenney Wagner's Surrender - Ernest Stoneman[00:00:00]
I'm sure you've heard my story[00:00:21]
From the Kenny Wagner song[00:00:23]
How down in Mississippi[00:00:26]
I took the road that's wrong[00:00:28]
It was down in Mississippi[00:00:32]
Where I murdered my first man[00:00:34]
When the sheriff there at Leakesville[00:00:37]
For justice took his stand[00:00:39]
Then I went from Mississippi[00:00:43]
To the state of Tennessee[00:00:45]
Two men went down before me[00:00:47]
As I took my liberty[00:00:50]
I wandered to the country[00:00:53]
I never could find rest[00:00:56]
'Til I went to Texarkana[00:00:58]
Away out in the west[00:01:01]
Again I started drinking[00:01:04]
And again I pulled my gun[00:01:07]
And within a single moment[00:01:09]
The deadly work was done[00:01:11]
The sheriff was a woman[00:01:15]
But she got the drop on me[00:01:17]
I quit the game and surrendered[00:01:20]
Gave up my liberty[00:01:22]
I'm now in Mississippi[00:01:36]
And I soon shall know my fate[00:01:38]
I'm waiting for my trial[00:01:41]
But I do not dread my fate[00:01:43]
For still the sun is shining[00:01:45]
And the sky is blue and fair[00:01:48]
But my heart is not repining[00:01:50]
For I do not fear the chair[00:01:53]
I've had my worldly pleasures[00:01:56]
I've faced a many a man[00:01:59]
But it was down in Texarkana[00:02:01]
Where a woman called my hand[00:02:04]
Young men young men take warning[00:02:07]
Oh take my last advice[00:02:09]
If you start the game in life wrong[00:02:12]
You must surely pay the price[00:02:14]
