Johnny Cash - Joe Bean lyrics

[Johnny Cash - Joe Bean lyrics]

Last time we were here at Folsom Prison
They were hanging Joe Bean
Is Joe still herejoe Bean?
Hang the son of a bitch anyways, right?
Well, they're hanging Joe Bean this morning
For killing a man in Arkansas
Funny thing about it
Joe Bean has never been to Arkansas
On top of that
Joe Bean never heard of the man in fact
Today is Joe Bean's twentieth birthday
See through the prison bars
Joe Bean, see where the gallows stand
Just twenty short years from the
Day you were born
You died by the hangman's hand
Yes, they're hanging Joe Bean this morning
For a shooting that he never did
He killed 20 men, by the time he was 10
He was an unruly kid
Yes, they're hanging Joe Bean for the one


Shooting that Joe Bean never did
Well, Joe - your mother is at the Capitol
Asking the governor for a stay
And it's hard on her
Because she knows where you were
On that particular day
You were working Joe Bean, hard working
Robbing the Santa Fe
Well, the telegraph wires are humming
Here, the governor's words come through
He said, I can't set you free, it's not
Up to me, but there's much, Joe Bean
I'll do i'll join your mother in extending
Birthday greetings to you
Happy Birthday, Joe Bean
