Capo: 2nd Fret
 
 
 
     C
"Oh, help me in my weakness,"
            F/C     C
I heard the drifter say,
        C
As they carried him from the courtroom
                F/C  C
And were taking him away.
    C
"My trip hasn't been a pleasant one
               F/C   C
And my time it isn't long,
 
And I still do not know
                 F/C       C
What it was that I've done wrong."
 
 
 
      C
Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside,
            F/C    C
A tear came to his eye,
     C
"You fail to understand," he said,
              F/C  C
"Why must you even try?"
   C
Outside, the crowd was stirring,
                  F/C      C
You could hear it from the door.
 
Inside, the judge was stepping down,
               F/C       C
While the jury cried for more.
 
 
 
     C
"Oh, stop that cursed jury,"
             F/C            C
Cried the attendant and the nurse,
     C
"The trial was bad enough,
            F/C       C
But this is ten times worse."
     C
Just then a bolt of lightning
                      F/C    C
Struck the courthouse out of shape,
 
And while ev'rybody knelt to pray
            F/C  C
The drifter did escape.
