In Evans was a prisoner
down in his prison cell
And those that read about
his crime
condemned his soul to hell
Go down, ye murderer, go down
For the killing of his own dear wife
and the murder of his child
The jury found him guilty
and the hanging judge, he smiled
Go down, you murderer, go down
Oh, they took Tim Evans from the dock
and they led him to his cell
They closed the door behind his back,
saying, damn your soul to hell
Go down, you murderer, go down
Tim Evans who walked
around the yard
and the screws they walked behind
He saw the sky above the wall
but knew no peace of mind
Go down, you murderer, go down
And the governor came to his cell
with the chaplain by his side
Senor, appeal has been turned down,
prepare yourself to die
Go down, you murderer, go down!
But they took Tim Evans
to the place
where the hangman did prepare
They tied the rope around his neck
with the knot behind his ear
Go down, you murderer, go down!
A thousand lags were screaming
and banging on their doors
Tim Evans didn't hear them,
he was dead forevermore
Go down, you murderers, go down
They sent Tim Evans to the drop
for a crime he did not do
Dr Christie was the murderer,
the judge and the jury too
Go down, you murderers, go down
Go down, you murderers, go down
Go down, you murderers, go down
Go down, you murderers,
go down
Thank very much.
