lyrics

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
Thomas Schoeffler

1
I should have known that they’d put me down,
I should have known that my head might hit the ground.
I should have seen them all around,
I should have screamed but you can’t undo what is done …

2
They took my girl, one by one,
They took my girl and left her on the ground.
Now, I breathe my blood, I touch her arm,
She is so cold, my dear baby’s gone…

3
I’ll kill them all, I’ll put them down,
I’ll teach them all that my name is Samuel Hall !
I’ll burn their barns and I’ll rip out their tongues,
I’ll break some arms, I’ll crush all their bloody bones…!

4
Now, I’m drinking here all alone,
Now, I’m waiting for the sheriff to come…
They’ll hang me, before next morn’,
Be ready baby, your man is coming home…
