Town folks gather round as they tighten the noose on my neck Preacher says son is there anything you like to say? Loosen your tongue, son tell us all your last request I whispered to his ear, the last breath I held in my chest Hangman please let me down easy Jesus hear my beck and call If I'm a sinner, then lord please forgive me And let something soft break my fall Said I killed the daughter of a man, and no one took my bond And I although I loved her, I'd never wished her any harm They never found her body, but they beat me to tell where she lay But I was not the one, who'd taken and led her astray So hangman please let me down easy Jesus hear my beck and call If I'm a sinner, then lord please forgive me And let something soft break my fall Crowd grew still as he placed the bag over my head And the rope was pulled tight, just moments until I would be dead... When I heard the voice of a girl who screamed I'm alive! The sweetest sound to my ears on the day that I died. Hangman please let me down easy Jesus hear my beck and call If I'm a sinner, then lord please forgive me Let something soft please break my fall

Praise Jeshua. Great storytelling
One of the best written songs by anyone, anytime, blown away
The Blues Community is so Underrated/Underground. You're not Basic if you listen to Blues! Especially this Masterpiece, I Really like it
Easily one of my favorites... but then again... so is everything else that The Cold Stares do.
Thanks for sharing!

Loosen your tongue, son tell us all your last request
I whispered to his ear, the last breath I held in my chest
Hangman please let me down easy
Jesus hear my beck and call
If I'm a sinner, then lord please forgive me
And let something soft break my fall
Said I killed the daughter of a man, and no one took my bond
And I although I loved her, I'd never wished her any harm
They never found her body, but they beat me to tell where she lay
But I was not the one, who'd taken and led her astray
So hangman please let me down easy
Jesus hear my beck and call
If I'm a sinner, then lord please forgive me
And let something soft break my fall
Crowd grew still as he placed the bag over my head
And the rope was pulled tight, just moments until I would be dead...
When I heard the voice of a girl who screamed I'm alive!
The sweetest sound to my ears on the day that I died.
Hangman please let me down easy
Jesus hear my beck and call
If I'm a sinner, then lord please forgive me
Let something soft please break my fall
Perfect
Damn that’s a fking songwriter

You want a man? Or just a guy? The former will be hard to find.
