He said lady I don’t wanna leave

His face on a paper that read wanted on the wall
Verse 4

He stole a boat and crossed the Mississippi

Met a man there down in Tennessee

And the moon shine

Lord it was blinding

And some were living

Others were dying

I miss her blue eyes and curls

And Nicholas heard word from a stranger

You’ll leave here tomorrow

And be hell bound for the south

And he said no

You are the only man who knew me

And will die with me, oh

Well Nicholas walked out on Main Street

And he found his darling’s loving eyes

He said you’ll take two steps from me
E B7 E
And you’ll have one last chance in the world to be free
Verse 8
E
Well Nicholas counted one, two and three
E C#m
But the sheriff had a final decree

And the roof man gunned him down

On the cold winter ground

In his lover’s ears were his last dying sound

And oh my darling
B7 A
Why don’t you sing a melody
E B7 E
That’s sad and sweet

On a horse that he called Sugar Bee

He left his woman standing there

In the kerchief he would wear
