"Death Penalty" new song by Slowpaw Steve T

The movie "Hang em High" made a big impression on me back in 1968, especially the famous multiple hanging scene - a bright sunny day, folks gathered singing hymns, it was much the same in Europe at the time, at London's Tyburn Tree by Hyde Park Corner people would gather to have a picnic and watch the hangings. You could get hanged for the most insignificant crimes then, tough justice for a downtrodden population including deportation. Hanging was finally abolished in England in 1964.
The song is the first of nine new songs going on my new album "Folk of Oak" out in 2014. (-:

Guitar - Perfecto
Bass - Violin Bass
Drums - Roland TD-12



BABY, STOP CRYIN' ALL THE TIME
DARLIN' I'M HANGIN' FOR MY CRIME
OHH BABY DON'T YOU WEEP
WHEN YOU SMILE YOU LOOK SO SWEET
LET ME WHISPER IN YOUR EAR
AN' BABY....REMEMBER WHAT WE HELD MOST DEAR

TOMORROW, I'LL SAY MY LAST GOODBYE
DARLIN' OUR LOVE WE CAN'T DENY
ALL OUR DREAMS EW LOVED TO SHARE,
WILL ONLY HAPPEN IF YOU CARE
YOU CAN MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN
AN' BABY.....DON'T LOOK BACK YOU'RE ALMOST GROWN.

BABY, STOP CRYIN' ALL THE TIME
DARLIN' I'M HANGIN' FOR MY CRIME
OHH BABY DRY YOUR EYES
STOP BELIEVIN' ALL THOSE LIES
LET ME WHISPER IN YOUR EAR
AN' BABY....REMEMBER WHAT WE HELD MOST DEAR

BABY, IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO
DARLIN' LET ME SPEND THE NIGHT ALONE
DRY YOUR EYES NOW IT'S TOO LATE
FOR THE LAW TO CHANGE MY FATE
WHEN IT'S TIME FOR ME TO DIE
BABY....YOU CAN'T SAY WE NEVER TRIED.

OOOH BABY

THERE AIN'T A WOMAN WHO COMES CLOSE TO YOU
WHEN IT'S TIME FOR ME TO DIE
OH BABY.....YOU CAN'T SAY WE NEVER TRIED.

From forthcoming album "Folk of Oak"
