Head Hung Down

Written by：Robert Gateley

I woke up this mornin'

In the pourin' rain

Underneath the trestle

Of a northbound train

Gotta get back home

I've been away too long

I'm afraid my baby

Gonna do me wrong

I can still see her standin'

In the bright sunshine

Her blue eyes shinin'

Like diamonds in a mine

But I've been stranded

In this one horse town

Standing on the corner

With my head hung down

Got in a little trouble in

Greenwood town

The sheriff and his brother

Tried to run me down

I told 'im I'm just goin'

Back to tennessee

I have a little woman

Waitin' there for me

I can still see her standin'

In the bright sunshine

Her blue eyes shinin'

Like diamonds in a mine

But I've been stranded

In this one horse town

Standing on the corner with

My head hung down

When the sheriff grabbed me

Well I broke his arm

He said I'm gonna send you

To the parchment farm

When I asked the judge

Hey what did I do wrong

Well son you stayed in

Mississippi one day too long

I can still see her standin'

In the bright sunshine

Her blue eyes shinin'

Like diamonds in a mine

But I've been stranded

In this one horse town

Standing on the corner

With my head hung down

I can still see her standin'

In the bright sunshine

Her blue eyes shinin' like

Diamonds in a mine

But I've been stranded in

This one horse town

Standing on the corner

With my head hung down

Standin' on the corner

With my head hung down

All right mighty fine
