[00:23.550] “Oh, help me in my weakness”“
[00:27.680] I heard the drifter say
[00:33.060] As they carried him from the courtroom
[00:36.360] And were taking him away
[00:41.690] “My trip hasn’t been a pleasant one“
[00:45.690] And my time it isn’t long
[00:50.750] And I still do not know
[00:54.440] What it was that I’ve done wrong”
[01:05.170] Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside
[01:09.230] A tear came to his eye
[01:14.260] “You fail to understand,” he said“
[01:18.260] “Why must you even try?”“
[01:23.540] Outside, the crowd was stirring
[01:26.820] You could hear it from the door
[01:32.360] Inside, the judge was stepping down
[01:36.100] While the jury cried for more
[01:38.520] music
[01:46.440] “Oh, stop that cursed jury”“
[01:50.100] Cried the attendant and the nurse
[01:55.580] “The trial was bad enough“
[01:59.390] But this is ten times worse”
[02:04.420] Just then a bolt of lightning
[02:07.990] Struck the courthouse out of shape
[02:13.380] And while ev’rybody knelt to pray
[02:17.390] The drifter did escape
