There'll be just one more sunrise in this cell for brother and me

He'll go home while I'll go to the hanging tree

Tell Betty I still love her and kiss her once for me

And tell mama at sunrise we'll both be free



Sitting in my prison cell the day is just beginning

My spirit's alike a grey on every wall

Beside me is my brother tomorrow we'll both be leaving

He'll go home while they'll lead me down the hall



He was always the blacksheep there's one in every family

But he was always just little brother to me

And that's why I took to blame when he killed a man in Knoxville

But tomorrow at sunrise we'll both be free

There'll be just one more sunrise...

Oh tell mama at sunrise we'll both be free
