[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C F C
In the beautiful hills in the mists of Roane County
There's where I have roamed for many long years
There's where my heart's been tendin most ever
There's where the first step of misfortune I made
[Verse 2]
C F C
It's about thirty years when I courted and married
Armanda Gilbraith I'd soon call my wife
My brother he stabbed me for some unknown reason
C
Just three month's later I'd taken Tom's life
[Verse 3]
C F C
I was captured and tried in the village of Kingston
Not a man in that county would speak one kind word
When the jury came in with the verdict next mornin'
A lifetime in prison was the words that I heard
[Verse 4]
C F C
When the train pulled out poor Mother stood weepin'
And sister she sat all alone with a sigh
And the last words I heard was "Willy God bless you"
C
Was "Willy God bless you God bless you goodbye"
[Verse 5]
C F C
In the scorching hot sand of the foundry I'm workin'
Toiling and working my poor life away
They'll measure my grave on the banks of old Cumberland
Just as soon as I finish the rest of my days
[Interlude]
C G C
[Outro]
C F C
Boys when you write home from this prison in Nashville
Place one of my songs in your letter for me
