Well midday sun shone on Cherokee Bill As he stood by the gallows pole Hangman asked - Anything to say Before I take your soul I didn't come here to make a speech, he said I just came here to die Well searchlights lit the blackout ripper As he was prepared to hang Well air raid sirens screamed outside He stood there and sang I didn't come here to make a speech, he said I just came here to die Well Lady Godiva never rode again For the sassy blonde was hanged Well the last woman didn't make a sound As the trap door below was banged I doubt she came to make a speech She just came here to die
