Tim [Am]Evans was
a prisoner down [G]in his prison cell

To hell

[Verse 2]
Go [Am]down you [G]murderers [Am]go down

[Verse 3]
For the [Am]killing of his own dear
wife and [G]murder of his
Child
[Am]The jury found him guilty and
the [G]hanging judge he

[Interlude 1]
Smiled

[Verse 4]
Tim [Am]Evans walked around the yard
and the [G]screws they
Walked behind
He [Am]saw the sky above the wall
but he [G]knew no peace of
Mind

[Verse 5]
The screws [Am]they came to his cell
and they hammered on
His [G]door
Get up you dirty murderer
[Am]the screws at him did roar

[Verse 6]
The [Am]governor came to his cell
with the [G]chaplain by his
Side
Saying [Am]your appeal has been
turned down pre[G]pare

Yourself to die

[Verse 7]
[Am]They took Tim Evans to the place
where [G]the hangman did
Pre[D]pare
[G]The[Am]y tied the rope around his
neck with the [G]knot behind
His ear
[Am][G]

[Verse 8]
[Am]
A thousand lags were screaming
and [G]banging on their
Doors
Tim [Am]Evans [E]didn't [Am]hear them he was [G]dead
[Am]forever [G]more

[Interlude 3]
[Am]
[G]
[Am][G]
[Am]They sent

[Verse 9]
Tim Evans to the
drop for a [G]crime he did not
Do
Dr. [Am]Christie was the murderer,
[G]the judge [Am]and [G]jury[Am] too.
