Hang Your Head Down Low

[Verse 1]
Write me a letter baby, send it by the mail
I'm in the care of the Fort Worth jail
I was out movin’ on a blood moon night
12 just hit me with them flashin’ lights

[Chorus]
Come on babe
Hang your head down low
Well I’m on my way to heaven
Just please let me go

[Verse 2]
Late in the evenin’ when that train rolls by
Right out the window I can hear it cry
Engineer highballin’ all through the night
Ol Texas Eagle on that Mopac line

[Chorus]
Come on babe
Hang your head down low
Well I’m on my way to heaven
Just please let me go

[Verse 3]
I hеar the sirens howlin’ in my mind
And I see it evеry time I close my eyes
My heart is beatin’ like a timpani drum
I'm thinkin' to myself, “Lord what have I done?”

[Chorus]
Come on babe
Hang your head down low
Well 'm on my way to heaven
Just please let me go

[Verse 4]
Tell my mama that I ain’t comin’ home
Get that public defendant on the telephone
Take out the money from that old shoe box
You'll find the key behind the cuckoo clock

[Outro]
Come on babe
Hang your head down low
Well I'm on my way to heaven
Judge please let me go
(Go on boy)
