Riding far and wide across the land,
Away from home, from where I have been banned.
These long winter nights, time and time again,
Frost bitten and left stranded in the wind.
The whisky flows and I start to feel dizzy,
Another shot just to keep my mind busy.
This is my fate, I'm wanted for my crimes,
Evading exile, one thousand and one times.
I'm on a horse drawn carriage to hell,
At the toll of my funeral bell.
Too many times I've been outlawed,
And now I must pay for it all.
I walk to the gallows pole,
Just another deadbeat soul.
Shackles tightened as I'm read my last rights,
Hellbound on this death ridden night.
I look around at the faces in the crowd,
Entire village to watch when I drop down.
I feel proud, not one thing I regret,
The lever's pulled and I hang by the neck.
The carriage takes me down to hell and I see the burning pit,
The tortured souls of wicked men and those who had true grit.
I'm on a horse drawn carriage to hell,
At the toll of my funeral bell.
Too many times I've been outlawed,
And now I must pay for it all.
I'm on a horse drawn carriage to hell,
At the toll of my funeral bell.
Too many times I've been outlawed,
And now I must pay for it all.
