The Lynch mob gathered in the square across from the jail[00:00:00]
Young Billy watched them from his cell and felt his courage fail[00:00:10]
Bill swore he wasn't guilty but the evidence was plain[00:00:19]
Tomorrow he would go on trial for killing Mary Jane [00:00:29]
They shouted beat the prisoner hardy[00:00:37]
We're gonna have a Lynchin' party[00:00:41]
Gonna hang him high[00:00:44]
Watch him die for killing Mary Jane [00:00:46]
The mob is closer to the jail excitement all around[00:00:56]
The deputies kept moving back afraid to hold their ground[00:01:03]
Then the young girl cried you cowards but the Lynch mob searched ahead[00:01:10]
Dragged young Billy from that jail and soon the kid was dead [00:01:17]
They shouted beat the prisoner hardy[00:01:24]
We're gonna have a Lynchin' party[00:01:28]
Gonna hang him high[00:01:31]
Watch him die for killing Mary Jane [00:01:33]
The weeks went by and no one spoke about it anymore[00:01:44]
Or seemed to see the wreath Bill's mother hung upon the door[00:01:51]
Then one night they dragged a ragged hobo from a train[00:01:59]
And he confessed he was the one who killed young Mary Jane [00:02:06]
They shouted beat the prisoner hardy[00:02:13]
We're gonna have a Lynchin' party[00:02:17]
Gonna hang him high[00:02:20]
Watch him die for killing Mary Jane [00:02:22]
Gonna hang him high[00:02:27]
Watch him die for killing Mary Jane [00:02:29]
