| - I wasn’t born in the morning, no,
- I must have been born in the night.
- I’ve done my wrong and I’ll carry my load.
- And all I own is my life.
-
- I wasn’t born to be lucky, lord,
- ‘cause luck had no future with me.
- I’ve done my wrong and I’ll sing, sing, sing my song
- and stand beneath the hanging tree.
-
- Bury me down by a river.
- Let all the town’s people see
- their enemy’s dead. Let me lay, lay my head,
- just put me down and set me free.
-
- I wasn’t born as a rich man, no.
- A rich man I never, I never could be.
- I’ve done my wrong and I’ll sing, sing, sing my song
- and stand beneath the hanging tree.
-
- (Everybody sing now)
- Bury me down by a river, lord, no.
- Let all the town’s people see, see
- their enemy’s dead. Let me lay, lay, lay my head,
- just put me down and set me free.
-
- (I want to hear everybody sing)
- Bury me down by the river (bury me down by the river, oh lord).
- Let all the towns, let all the towns people see
- their enemy’s dead. Let me lay, let met lay, let me lay my head along,
- just put me down and set me free (set me free).
