\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}
\begin{bridge}
I hung my head
I hung my head
I hung my head
I hung my head
\end{bridge}
