One Last Lullaby
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I don't die before I wake
The hangman my life will take
Far from the path I have strayed
But please Lord listen as I pray
Don't blame momma for my wayward ways
A cheating heart leads a man to rage
Oh momma, alone each night she cries
Oh momma, one last lullaby
It wasn't all that long ago
My gun was hot, my head was low
He was running hard but he run to slow
No one escapes the gavel's blow
Oh momma, alone she cries each night
Oh momma, one last lullaby
Now I lay me down to rest
I pray the Lord keeps this close to his chest
For I have sinned but I wont repent
That warm 44 felt good in my hands
Oh momma, alone each night she cries
Oh momma, one last lullaby
Oh momma, in the dead of night she cries
Oh momma, they're hanging me tonight
Now I lay me down to sleep
The hangman readies to drop my feet
My head held high above the plains
Momma's black veil is my only shame
Oh momma, alone she cries each night
Oh momma, one last lullaby
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I don't die before I wake
The hangman my life will take
Far from the path I have strayed
But please Lord listen as I pray
Don't blame momma for my wayward ways
A cheating heart leads a man to rage
Oh momma, alone each night she cries
Oh momma, one last lullaby
It wasn't all that long ago
My gun was hot, my head was low
He was running hard but he run to slow
No one escapes the gavel's blow
Oh momma, alone she cries each night
Oh momma, one last lullaby
Now I lay me down to rest
I pray the Lord keeps this close to his chest
For I have sinned but I wont repent
That warm 44 felt good in my hands
Oh momma, alone each night she cries
Oh momma, one last lullaby
Oh momma, in the dead of night she cries
Oh momma, they're hanging me tonight
Now I lay me down to sleep
The hangman readies to drop my feet
My head held high above the plains
Momma's black veil is my only shame
Oh momma, alone she cries each night
Oh momma, one last lullaby
