There's only four hours left to d**h No time to feel that I regret I hate the man outside this door Brings me my last meal and he says: "Enjoy your dinner son before They come and get you, then you'll hang" I guess the hangman's still asleep The gallows wait, the cord is cheap The preacher says "Before it's too late
I'll save your soul, don't let me wait You know it's really time to go" But it's so terrible to know Now it's just four minutes left to d**h My whole life pa**es, I can't forget The hangman, oh how can he smile And k** me in a little while He ties my hands down on my back And hangs the cord around my neck
