Monte Warden (Wagoneers - from the Stout and High album)
He didn't say a word...
When they came to take him
Out of his cell and from this world
He just handed the warden some paper
A simple message for his girl
"Please don't think that I am guilty
I never did the thing they said
I had to sign that sworn confession
The sheriff's gun was to my head"
She had hoped...
That she'd hear from him
Some explanation for all her pain
But she waited around forever
Those final words were wrote in vain
"Please don't think that I am guilty
I never did the thing they said
I had to sign that sworn confession
The sheriff's gun was to my head"
