The Lonesomest Sound
The Lonesomest Sound Boys
Had ever heard sound boys
Was on the stroke of midnight
As the curfew blowed
And if they catch you
Then they will jail you
In the city lock -up,
when the curfew blows,
Hear the curfew blow, boy,
hear the curfew blow, boy,
In the cold black midnight,
hear the curfew blow.
These sheriff's men, boys,
they're on my trail, boys
In the midnight wind, boys,
hear the curfew blow
If they catch me,
my body will hang, boys
On the gallows pole, boys,
when the curfew blows.
Hear the curfew blow, boy,
hear the curfew blow, boy,
In the cold black midnight,
hear the curfew blow.
Hear the curfew blow, boy,
hear the curfew blow, boy,
In the cold, midnight,
till the curfew blows through.
