Lyrics
0:14Meet me by the riverside
0:17Later in the day
0:21Gonna watch the hanging of an honest man
0:27They say he ain't the guilty one
0:30But someone has to pay
0:33They will not be pleased before they see him hang
0:39As he cries out
0:43Turn and face the crowd
0:46As he cries out
0:50No one makes a sound
0:52As he cries out
0:56Before he hits the ground
0:59He cries out
1:03Where's your spirit now?
1:06Drown me in the river
1:09String me from the tree
1:12Won't you free the slave in me?
1:36Oh, oh
1:47Leave me when the time is near
1:51Leave me be in peace
1:54This is not the way you should remember me
2:00Have you nothing else to say?
2:04Final words of truth
2:07Forgive them, father
2:09For they know not what they do
2:13As he cries out
2:17Mercy can't be found
2:20As he cries out
2:24No one makes a sound
2:26As he cries out
2:30Before he hits the ground
2:33He cries out
2:37Where is your savior now?
2:40Throw me in the ocean
2:43Cast me in the sea
2:46Won't you free the slave in me?
3:02Don't you know, don't you know?
3:05Whoa, they're gonna come for you
3:06You can run, run on out
3:08Oh, they're gonna come for you
3:11Until you bleed, oh
3:13Until you bleed, oh
3:20Dark days are coming
3:24Dark days so you should take shelter
3:28You should take shelter
3:31Dark days are coming
3:33Dark days are here
3:28Is your conscience clear?
3:40Have you seen the brave man
3:52Hanging from a tree?
3:56Say, who will be the first to see?
Meet me by the riverside Later in the day Gonna watch the hanging of an honest man They say he ain't the guilty one But someone has to pay They will not be pleased before they see him hang As he cries out Turn and face the crowd As he cries out No one makes a sound As he cries out Before he hits the ground He cries out Where's your spirit now? Drown me in the river String me from the tree Won't you free the slave in me? Oh, oh Leave me when the time is near Leave me be in peace This is not the way you should remember me Have you nothing else to say? Final words of truth Forgive them, father For they know not what they do As he cries out Mercy can't be found As he cries out No one makes a sound As he cries out Before he hits the ground He cries out Where is your savior now? Throw me in the ocean Cast me in the sea Won't you free the slave in me? Don't you know, don't you know? Whoa, they're gonna come for you You can run, run on out Oh, they're gonna come for you Until you bleed, oh Until you bleed, oh Dark days are coming Dark days so you should take shelter You should take shelter Dark days are coming Dark days are here Is your conscience clear? Have you seen the brave man Hanging from a tree? Say, who will be the first to see?
