Tim Evans

Tim Evans was a prisoner within his prison cell

And those who read about his crime

They d**ned his soul to hell

Saying go down you murderer go down

For the murder of his own dear wife

And the killing of his child

The jury found him guilty and the

Hanging judge he smiled

Saying go down you murderer go down

Tim Evans pleaded innocent and

Swore by him on high

He never killed his own dear

Wife or house his child to die

Saying go down you murderer go down

They moved him out at 6 o'clock

To his final flowery dell

And day and night two guards

Were there and never left his cell

Saying go down you murderer go down

Sometimes they played cards

With him solo and pontoon

To stop him brooding on the rope

That was to be his doom

Saying go down you murderer go down

The governor came in one day

With a chaplain by his side

Said your appeal has been turned

Down prepare yourself to die

Saying go down you murderer go down

Tim Evans walked in the prison yourd

Guards walked behind

He saw the sky above the wall

And knew no peace of mind

Saying go down you murderer go down

They fixed the rope around his

Neck buckled behind his ears

The prison bell was tolling but

Tim Evans did not hear

Saying go down you murderer go down

A thousand men were cursing

And banging on their doors

But Tim Evans did not hear them

He was deaf for evermore

Saying go down you murderer go down

They sent Tim Evans to the drop

For a crime he didn't do

To was christie was the murderer

The judge and jury too

Saying go down you murderer go down
