Lirik Last Mile Blues
Last Mile Blues - Ida Cox
You wonder why I'm grieving
And feeling blue
All I do is moan and cry
With me you'd be in sympathy
If you only knew
And here's the reason why
Have you heard what
That mean old judge has done to me
He told the jury not to let my man go free
There I stood
With my heart so full of misery
He must die on the gallows
That was the court's decree
I walked the floor
Until his time was through
The judge he said there's
Nothing you can do
He must die on the gallows
By his neck be hung
He must pay with his life
When that there trap is sprung
He refused folks to talk
Until it was too late
He gave his life to satisfy the state
When they pull the black cap down
Over my daddy's face
Lord I beg the sheriff
To let me take his place
Now everyday I seem to see that news
I cry to hide my tears
But what's the use
Thirteen steps with his loving arms bound to his side
With a smile on his face
That's how my daddy died
