Steve Earle - Hangmen Lyrics

Walking up the platform, steppin very slow.
Standin there in judgement, one last place to go.
Blindfold tied behind your head, no one sees your eyes.

Chorus:
Hangmans there to do his duty,
And hangmen never cry.

The judge hes a fair man with a job to do.
He dont decide whose guilty, thats up to me and you.
But if you take anothers life the sentence hell decide.

Repeat chorus

Take one more long deep breath, it will be your last.
Think about your next life, not about your past.
Whats done is done and now you know there is no reprise.

Repeat chorus
