Lyrics

0:11They killed a man for doing wrong today

0:18When all he ever did in life

0:20Was look the other way

0:22And with his verdict someone heard him pray

0:27The crowd gathered around

0:29To see the look on his face

0:34Will they ever know the last words he spoke

0:44He Cried "Mother "

0:49As the people stood and stared

0:56He Cried "Mother "

1:01And no one seemed to care

1:08Early 25 years to his name

1:11Only the good die young it's too hard to say

1:19With a wife and child living back at home

1:23Far from here where he dies all alone

1:31Will they ever know the last words he spoke

1:41He Cried "Mother "

1:45As the people stood and stared

1:52He Cried "Mother "

1:57Sounded like a prayer

2:38They killed a man for doing wrong today

They killed a man for doing wrong today
When all he ever did in life
Was look the other way
And with his verdict someone heard him pray
The crowd gathered around
To see the look on his face
Will they ever know  the last words he spoke
He Cried "Mother "
As the people stood and stared
He Cried "Mother "
And no one seemed to care
Early 25 years to his name
Only the good die young it's too hard to say
With a wife and child living back at home
Far from here where he dies all alone
Will they ever know  the last words he spoke
He Cried "Mother "
As the people stood and stared
He Cried "Mother "
Sounded like a prayer
They killed a man for doing wrong today
