[00:18.69]a harlot who was hot to trot

[02:32.72]but on deaf ears her prayer fell
[02:35.36]cause through her tears she stared at hell
[02:38.08]standing there in nothing but his drawers
[02:43.13]she recognized the whiskered chin
[02:46.11]bloodshot eyes and foul-mouthed grin
[02:48.69]he was the man who wore the silver star
[02:54.38]she tried to turn around and run

[03:28.76]a crimson pool between her legs
[03:31.08]naked as the day that she was born
[03:36.29]but lying there next to him
[03:38.94]made her wish she hadn’t been
[03:41.47]if this was all that living had in store
[03:46.69]making sure he was asleep
[03:49.44]she quietly got to her feet

[04:39.42]when morning came hacks led her out
[04:42.26]in ankle chains right through the crowd
[04:44.76]who waited in the mud to watch the show
[04:49.86]they walked her up the gallows steps
[04:52.75]but the rope around her neck
[04:55.44]dropped the trap as all the watchers cheered
[05:00.30]but on the wall of her cell
[05:03.29]in a tiny scrawl and misspelled
