Somewhere up north,
A killer has been caught,
Took a life, with his knife
The end for a drunken brawl

Bride's heart can't forgive
They're gonna hang him high
They need me to complete
What the devil himself begun

Although I'm old I've gotta go
When I hear them call my name
My heart is old and it's oh so cold
This time will be my last

My hands are getting' num
And I can't get the hold on time
When I draw my final breath
I know my time has come

Falling down I'm breaking bones,
I don't care when I hit my head
All the misery I've left behing
Is waiting, waiting for me

Although I'm old I've gotta go
When I hear them call my name
My heart is old and it's oh so cold
This time will be my last

My heart is old and it's oh so cold
When I hear them call my name
My heart is old and it's oh so cold
When I hear them call my name
