Old Judge Jones never gave a man break On his hangin' tree the leaves don't shake That man in black what did he say A hundred years and one dark day A widow's tear filled with pain Can make the blue skies shed some rain You people think that you got the blues Wait ‘til you read our everyday news One more hung from the tree last night Old Judge Jones done took another life Folks keep prayin' it would end But sad as it is It'll happen again (solo section) You'd think we wouldn't put up with it He'd bust an old lady for a sidewalk spit Church on Sunday he's the first in line Last week gave the preacher a fine You can't hate a man for what he must do But if his cause ain't just and his word untrue That man in the robe's a devil in disguise The bailiff's books are filled with lies Election time the Jones will never lose With a gun at your back in the voting booth You can't do what you think is right Sad as it is Another hangin' tonight
