E E They?re building the gallows outside of my own cell. I?ve got 25 minutes to B E go. In 25 minutes I?ll be in hell, I?ve got 24 minutes to go. Well they gave B me some peas for my last meal with 23 minutes to go. And you know nobody?s E asking me oh how I feel I?ve got 22 minutes to go. So I wrote the Gov?nor and B the whole damn ???? with 21 minutes to go. And I called up the Mayor and you E know he?s out to lunch with 20 more minutes to go. And the Sheriff said ?Boy, B I wanna watch you die? with 19 minutes to go. So I spit in his face and then I E kicked him in the eye with 18 minutes to go. G D Well I called to the warden to take my plea with 17 minutes to go. He says G ?Call me back in a week or three? with 16 minutes to go. Well my lawyer says D he?s sorry and he?ll miss my case with 15 minutes to go. Well if you?re so G sorry then come and take my place with 14 minutes to go. Well he comes Padre D gonna set me free with 13 minutes to go. And I?m stuck in my bed and you know G I feel so fuckin cold with 12 more minutes to go. Now they?re testing the D trap, I?ve got chills down my spine with 11 more minutes to go. Cuz the god- G damn thing seems to work just fine with 10 more minutes to go. I?m waiting for D the pardon gonna set me free with 9 more minutes to go. But this ain?t the G movies so the hell with me with 8 more minutes to go. A Now I?m climbing up the ladder that the scaffolder built with 7 more minutes to E A go. I better watch my step before I break my leg with 6 more minutes to go. With my feet on the trap and my head in the noose I?ve got 5 more minutes to E A go. Well come on someone and cut me loose I?ve got 4 more minutes to go. I E can see the mountains I can see the sky with 3 more minutes to go. And it?s A too damn pretty for a man to want to die with 2 more minutes to go. I can hear E the bush and I see the crows with 1 more minute to go. And now I?m swinging here I go.
