Ten Black Crows
Ten black crows circling overhead
Noose around his neck
Any last requests?
Ten black crows circling overhead
"Any final words?"
Is what the hangman says
Airline road
No town for miles
That iron horse, she'd ride
Filling the air with her cries
'Til hell came down
In a cloud of dust
Ain't no way to run
From a quick shot with a loaded gun
And he stood and watched the sky run red
"God help you now", he said
As ten black crows circled overhead
Single bullet left
Any last requests?
Ten black crows circled overhead
"Any final words?"
Is what the gunman said
A trail of gold
Ain't hard to follow
Can't hide among the willows
With your name on their tongues
Face on each townpost
And though his hand
Was quick to the trigger
The odds, they paid no favors
Ten guns around, so he laid his down
And stood and watched the sky run red
"God help you now", they said
As ten black crows circled overhead
Single bullet left
Any last requests?
Ten black crows circled overhead
"Any final words?"
Is what the townsmen said
Take him down to the hangman's tree
Hell's what he brings, that's where he'll be
Take him down to the hangman's tree
Oh, take him down
Take him down to the hangman's tree (ten black crows)
Hell's what he brings, that's where he'll be (circling overhead)
Take him down to the hangman's tree (ten black crows)
Oh, take him down (circling over)
Take him down (ten black crows)
Oh, take him down
Ten black crows circling overhead
"Any final words?"
Is what the hangman says
Noose around his neck
Any last requests?
Ten black crows circling overhead
"Any final words?"
Is what the hangman says
Airline road
No town for miles
That iron horse, she'd ride
Filling the air with her cries
'Til hell came down
In a cloud of dust
Ain't no way to run
From a quick shot with a loaded gun
And he stood and watched the sky run red
"God help you now", he said
As ten black crows circled overhead
Single bullet left
Any last requests?
Ten black crows circled overhead
"Any final words?"
Is what the gunman said
A trail of gold
Ain't hard to follow
Can't hide among the willows
With your name on their tongues
Face on each townpost
And though his hand
Was quick to the trigger
The odds, they paid no favors
Ten guns around, so he laid his down
And stood and watched the sky run red
"God help you now", they said
As ten black crows circled overhead
Single bullet left
Any last requests?
Ten black crows circled overhead
"Any final words?"
Is what the townsmen said
Take him down to the hangman's tree
Hell's what he brings, that's where he'll be
Take him down to the hangman's tree
Oh, take him down
Take him down to the hangman's tree (ten black crows)
Hell's what he brings, that's where he'll be (circling overhead)
Take him down to the hangman's tree (ten black crows)
Oh, take him down (circling over)
Take him down (ten black crows)
Oh, take him down
Ten black crows circling overhead
"Any final words?"
Is what the hangman says
