Tim Evans - Judy Collins[00:00:00]
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]
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[00:01:24]
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[00:01:40]
Saying go down you murderer go down[00:01:46]
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[00:01:57]
Saying go down you murderer go down[00:02:03]
A thousand men were cursing and banging on their 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]
