Head Hung Down

Lyrics

I woke up this mornin' in the pourin' rain Underneath the trestle of a northbound train Gotta get back home, I've been away too long I'm afraid my baby gonna do me wrong I can still see her standin' in the bright sunshine Her blue eyes shinin' like diamonds in a mine But I've been stranded in this one-horse town Standing on the corner with my head hung down Got in a little trouble in Greenwood Town The sheriff and his brother tried to run me down I told 'im "I'm just goin' back to Tennessee I have a little woman waitin' there for me" I can still see her standin' in the bright sunshine Her blue eyes shinin' like diamonds in a mine But I've been stranded in this one-horse town Standing on the corner with my head hung down When the sheriff grabbed me, well, I broke his arm He said, "I'm gonna send you to the parchment farm." When I asked the judge, "Hey! What did I do wrong?" "Well son, you stayed in Mississippi one day too long." I can still see her standin' in the bright sunshine Her blue eyes shinin' like diamonds in a mine But I've been stranded in this one-horse town Standing on the corner with my head hung down I can still see her standin' in the bright sunshine Her blue eyes shinin' like diamonds in a mine But I've been stranded in this one-horse town Standing on the corner with my head hung down Standin' on the corner with my head hung down All right! Mighty fine!
