  \begin{verse}
    \[C]Early one morning
    With \[F]time to kill
    I \[Am]borrowed Jebb's rifle
    And \[F]sat on the hill
    I \[C]saw a lone rider
    \[F]Crossing the plain
    I \[Am]drew a bead on him
    To \[F]practice my aim
    \[Dm]My brother's rifle
    Went \[G]off in my hand
    A shot rang out
    \[C]Across the land
    The \[F]horse, he kept running
    The \[Am]rider was dead
    I \[C]hung my head
    I \[F]hung my head
    \[C]
  \end{verse}

  \begin{verse}
    I set off running
    To wake from the dream
    My brother's rifle
    Went into the sheen
    I kept on running
    Into the south lands
    That's where they found me
    My head in my hands
    The sheriff he asked me
    Why had I run
    And then it came to me
    Just what I had done
    And all for no reason
    Just one piece of lead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head
  \end{verse}

  \begin{verse}
    Here in the court house
    The whole town was there
    I see the judge
    High up in his chair
    "Explain to the court room
    What went through your mind.
    And we'll ask the jury
    What verdict they find."
    I felt the power
    Of death over life
    I orphaned his children
    I widowed his wife
    I begged their forgiveness
    I wish I was dead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head
  \end{verse}

  \begin{verse}
    Early one morning
    With time to kill
    I see the gallows
    Up on a hill
    And out in the distance
    A trick of the brain
    I see a lone rider
    Crossing the plain
    And he'd come to fetch me
    To see what they'd done
    And we'd ride together
    To kingdom come
    I prayed for god's mercy
    For soon I'd be dead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head
  \end{verse}

    I hung my head
    I hung my head 
    I hung my head
    I hung my head
