Break My Fall

[00:10.00] Town folks gather round
[00:12.34] As they tighten the noose on my neck
[00:20.61] Preacher says "Son, is there anything you like to say?
[00:30.88] Loosen your tongue
[00:32.97] Son tell us all your last request"
[00:41.07] I whispered in his ear
[00:43.37] The last breath I held in my chest
[00:51.43] Hangman please let me down easy
[00:56.40] Jesus heel my beck and call
[01:01.63] Though I'm a sinner
[01:04.21] Lord please forgive me
[01:06.53] And let something soft break my fall
[01:19.63] They said I killed the daughter of a man
[01:23.54] And no one stood my bond
[01:30.05] And I although I loved her, I'd never wished her any harm
[01:39.92] They never found her body
[01:42.57] But they beat me to tell where she lay
[01:50.48] But I was not the one who had taken her
[01:54.57] Led her astray
[02:00.89] So hangman please let me down easy
[02:05.78] And Jesus heel my beck and call
[02:11.25] Though I'm a sinner
[02:13.58] Lord please forgive me
[02:16.15] But let something soft break my fall
[02:29.02] The crowd grew still as he
[02:31.63] Placed the bag over my head
[02:39.28] The rope was pulled tight, and just
[02:42.07] Moments until I'd be dead
[02:49.64] When I heard the voice of a girl
[02:53.26] Who screamed "I'm alive!"
[02:59.85] The sweetest sound to my ears on
[03:03.74] The day that I died
[03:09.41] Oh! Hangman
[03:11.57] Let me down easy
[03:15.41] And Jesus heed my beck and call
[03:20.47] And though I'm a sinner
[03:23.04] Lord please forgive me
[03:25.69] And let something soft break my fall
[03:30.01] Oh! Hangman
[03:32.15] Hangman
[03:33.42] Let me down easy
[03:36.01] And Jesus heed my beck and call
[03:41.06] Though I'm a sinner
[03:43.66] Lord please forgive me and
[03:46.25] Let something soft break my fall
[03:53.21] Break my fall
[03:58.47] Break my fall
[04:03.73] Break my fall
[04:09.69] Break my
[04:11.73]
