lirik lagu jimmie rodgers - my time ain't long
i will go to the gallows at sunrise
they say i am going to hang
through the opening will fall my young body
on the end of a rope i will swing
my pals have all died on the gallows
and i am awaiting my time
if you wander astray in the struggle
your life will be wasted like mine
i think of my heartbroken mother
her pleadings have all been in vain
she suffered to rear me from childhood
and now i’m her sorrow and shame
young man don’t sin to you sorrow
don’t shadow your dear mothers name
my pals have all gone on before me
and i am a lad left in pain
[yodel]
no more will the boys gather round me
the pals that i love have gone on
i will die when the new day is dawning
to pay for the deeds i’ve done wrong
along i will die on the gallows
alone i will cross the divide
but bury me there by my sweetheart
to sleep through the years by her side
dear mother oh soon i’ll be going
oh mother i’ll go with the dawn
the bright stars are now dimmer growing
dear mother my time won’t be long
oh mother i know how you love me
but mother i’m going to hang
my pals have all gone on before me
i guess i have played my last game
[yodel]
