Tim Evans

Tim Evans was a prisoner within his prison cell and those who read about his crime they damned his soul to hell saying go down you murderer, go down For the murder of his own dear wife and the killing of his child the jury found him guilty and the hanging judge, he smiled saying go down you murderer, go down Tim Evans pleaded innocent and swore by Him on high he never killed his own dear wife or caused his child to die saying go down you murderer, go down They moved him out at 6 o'clock to his final flowery dell and day and night two guards were there and never left his cell saying go down you murderer, go down Sometimes they played cards with him solo and pontoon to stop him brooding on the rope that was to be his doom saying go down you murderer, go down The governor came in one day with a chaplain by his side said your appeal has been turned down, prepare yourself to die saying go down you murderer, go down Tim Evans walked in the prison garden, the guards walked behind he saw the sky above the wall and knew no peace of mind saying go down you murderer, go down They fixed the rope around his neck, buckled behind his ears the prison bell was tolling but Tim Evans did not hear saying go down you murderer, go down A thousand men were cursing and banging on their doors but Tim Evans did not hear them, he was deaf for evermore saying go down you murderer, go down They sent Tim Evans to the drop for a crime he didn't do It was Christie was the murderer, the judge and jury too saying go down you murderer, go down
