歌词
Meet me by the riverside
Later in the day
Gonna watch the hanging of an honest man
They say he ain't the guilty one
But someone has to pay
They will not be pleased before they see him hang
Chorus 1
As he cries out
Turn and face the crowd
As he cries out
No one makes a sound
As he cries out
Before he hits the ground
He cries out
Where's your spirit now
Drown me in the river
String me from the tree
Won't you free the slave in me
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh
Verse 2
Leave me when the time is near
Leave me be in peace
This is not the way you should remember me
Have you nothing else to say
Final words of truth
Forgive them, father
For they know not what they do
Chorus 2
As he cries out
Mercy can't be found
As he cries out
No one makes a sound
As he cries out
Before he hits the ground
He cries out
Where is your savior now
Throw me in the ocean
Cast me in the sea
Won't you free the slave in me
Bridge
Don't you know, don't you know
Whoa, they're gonna come for you
You can run, run on out
Oh, they're gonna come for you
Until you bleed, oh
Until you bleed, oh
Dark days are coming
Dark days so you should take shelter
You should take shelter
Dark days are coming
Dark days are here
Outro
Is your conscience clear
Have you seen the brave man
Hanging from a tree
Say, who will be the first to see
