Version 1Capo: 2nd Fret G "Oh, help me in my weakness," C/G G I heard the drifter say, G As they carried him from the courtroom C/G G And were taking him away. G "My trip hasn't been a pleasant one C/G G And my time it isn't long, And I still do not know C/G G What it was that I've done wrong." G Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside, C/G G A tear came to his eye, G "You fail to understand," he said, C/G G "Why must you even try?" G Outside, the crowd was stirring, C/G G You could hear it from the door. Inside, the judge was stepping down, C/G G While the jury cried for more. G "Oh, stop that cursed jury," C/G G Cried the attendant and the nurse, G "The trial was bad enough, C/G G But this is ten times worse." G Just then a bolt of lightning C/G G Struck the courthouse out of shape, And while ev'rybody knelt to pray C/G G The drifter did escape. Cheers Jack of Hearts
