There'll be just one more sunrise
In this cell for brother and me
He'll go home
While I'll go
To the hanging tree
Tell Betty I still love her
And kiss her once for me
And tell mama
At sunrise
We'll both be free
Sitting in my prison cell
The day is just beginning
My spirit's alike a grey
On every wall
Beside me is my brother
Tomorrow we'll both be leaving
He'll go home
While they'll lead mе
Down the hall
He was always the black sheep
Thеre's one in every family
But he was always
Just little brother
To me
And that's why I took the blame
When he killed a man in Knoxville
But tomorrow
At sunrise we'll both be free
There'll be just one more sunrise
In this cell for brother and me
He'll go home
While I'll go
To the hanging tree
Tell Betty I still love her
And kiss her once for me
And tell mama
At sunrise
We'll both be free
Oh, tell mama
At sunrise
We'll both be free
