(d. yoakam)

Hey look yonder, henry, comes the sheriff
And he’s carrying a warrant in his hand
Don’t you run, poor old henry, for he’ll shoot you
Not long will you be a free man

Chorus:
Now twenty years you must spend behind steel bars
For a crime that you did not do
Yeah the lie she swore in that district court
Has proved to be the ruin of you

Tried to warn you, henry, not to cross her
Tried to tell you about her vengeful ways
When you turned and left her for another
She swore, henry, that she’d make you pay

Chorus:
Now twenty years you must spend behind steel bars
For a crime that you did not do
Yeah the lie she swore in that district court
Has proved to be the ruin of you

Listen well, all you young rounders
Heed the lesson poor old henry never learned
That even hell with all its fiery power
Hath no fury like a woman’s scorn

Chorus:
Now twenty years you must spend behind steel bars
For a crime that you did not do
Yeah the lie she swore in that district court
Has proved to be the ruin of you

Yeah the lie she swore in that district court
Has proved to be the ruin of you

(paul cotton)

Well i’ve thought about the things i need
And i’m willing just to let them be
There is nothing that i’d want anyway
That could take the place of you
And all the things you do and say

We’ve come so very far in such a little time
And looking back there is only you that i find
Who was willing to give and maybe lose
You’ve got me tying up my walking shoes
These walking shoes

Twenty years on the run
I’ve only known a setting sun
Burning out on a lonely road
I’ve come to feel a lighter load

And now it’s time we can turn the page
I believe you and i have come of age
All along it was there to see
What was really meant to be

It’s a game the only one in town
It’s a game all the changes going round
It’s taken twenty years to get it on the way
And all i had to do was play
