[Verse 1]
Am
Where the Rockies meet the Plains
E Am
Towns rose up to meet the trains
Am
Frontier justice handed down
E Am
Rawlins was that kind of town
F Em
They’d hang somebody now & then
E Am
Make some shoes out of their skin
Am
Put them up there on display
E Am
Reminding folks crime didn’t pay
[Verse 2]
Am
Wyoming built a state pen here
E Am
For the worst of men to spend their years
Am
Tom Horn had been the last to hang
E Am
Before the shortstop Joseph Seng
F Em
Now all my teammates, one by one
E Am
And each of us a mother’s son
Am
Will follow to the gallows pole
E Am
Lord have mercy on my soul
[Verse 3]
Am
The day that Warden Allston came
E Am
He hung a picture he had framed
Am
Of Connie Mack, his eyes ablaze
E Am
Sitting with his World Champ A’s
F Em
He ordered balls & bats & gloves
E Am
To form a prison baseball club
Am
Teams from all across the west
E Am
Would testify we were the best
