A Great Crowd Has Gathered Around The Jail Today
To See My Execution And Hear What I Have To Say
I Am To Hang This Morning For The Murder You Will Learn
For The Murder Of Poor Lily And Her Body So Shamefully Burned
I Was Taken To Prison For The Murder I Did Own
And By The Court Was Sentenced To Hang For The Murder Done
The Cries Of Poor Lily Again Was In My Side
Her Loving Form Consuming In A Fire That Burned So Bright
I Bowed Down To Jesus In Painful Grief And Prayed
I Prayed That He Might Save Me As He Did The Dying Thing
God Bless My Dear Parents Whom Now My Faith Must Mourn
I Bless My Wife And Baby Who'd Be Left All Alone
God Take Care Of My Baby I'll Never See Again
I Pray That He'll Ever Keep It From Danger Harm And Sin
