lirik lagu kobo town – the trial of henry marshall
[verse 1]
the people shouting, they bawling for murder
(made up their mind and they want to take his life)
the gavel pounding calling them to order
(made up their mind and they want to take his life)
a man in handcuffs pleads to the charges
(made up their mind and they want to take his life)
but the trial is over before it is started
(made up their mind and they want to take his life)
he did not stand a chance
convicted by circ-mstantial evidence
and a hurried defense
he could not bear the expense
to maintain his innocence
too poor to afford
to change the minds on the bench
[verse 2]
crowded courtroom impatiently waiting
(made up their mind and they want to take his life)
jury in the back room deliberating
(made up their mind and they want to take his life)
and if you don’t know if they will acquit or convict
(made up their mind and they want to take his life)
the look on their faces would tell you the verdict
(made up their mind and they want to take his life)
already sentenced by the press
there was never any contest, no chance to debate
the facts of the case
but the just outrage of the town
had rushed the case of the crown
to put out the flames
they found a man to bear the blame
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
whoever said justice was blind and impartial
(made up their mind and they want to take his life)
never went to the trial of young henry marshall
(made up their mind and they want to take his life)
he had no lyrics to woo and to sway her
(made up their mind and they want to take his life)
no gold to tip her scales in his favour
(made up their mind and they want to take his life)
when the hangman opened the door
and he vanished through the flooor
the crowd started to roar
thought they settled the score
blind to their transgression
innocent blood on their hands
[outro]
they file out the yard, everyone a murderer
they file out the yard, everyone a murderer
they file out the yard, everyone a murderer
they file out the yard, everyone a murderer
