I wasn't born in the morning, I must have been born in the night. I’ve done my wrong and I'll carry my load. And all I own is life.
I wasn't born to be lucky, lord, 'cause luck had no future with me. I've my wrong and I'll sing, sing, sing my song and stand beneath the hanging tree.
Bury me down by a river. Let all the town’s people see their dead. Let me lay, lay my head, just put me down and set me free.
wasn't born as a rich man, no. A rich man I never, I never could be. I've done my wrong and I'll sing, sing, sing my song and stand beneath hanging tree.
Bury me down by a river, no. Let all the town’s people see, see their enemy's dead. Let me lay, lay, lay my head, just put me down and set me free.
(I want to everybody sing) Bury me down by the river (bury me down by the river, oh lord). Let the towns, let all the towns people see their enemy's dead. Let me lay, let me lay, let me lay my head along, just put me and set me free (set me free).
