Break My Fall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Town folks gather round as they tighten the noose on my neck
Preacher says son is there anything you like to say?
Loosen your tongue, son tell us all your last request
I whispered to his ear, the last breath I held in my chest
Hangman please let me down easy
Jesus hear my beck and call
If I'm a sinner, then lord please forgive me
And let something soft break my fall
Said I killed the daughter of a man, and no one took my bond
And I although I loved her, I'd never wished her any harm
They never found her body, but they beat me to tell where she lay
But I was not the one, who'd taken and led her astray
So hangman please let me down easy
Jesus hear my beck and call
If I'm a sinner, then lord please forgive me
And let something soft break my fall
Crowd grew still as he placed the bag over my head
And the rope was pulled tight, just moments until I would be dead
When I heard the voice of a girl who screamed I'm alive!
The sweetest sound to my ears on the day that I died
Hangman please let me down easy
Jesus hear my beck and call
If I'm a sinner, then lord please forgive me
Let something soft please break my fall
