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 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
Oh, tell mama at sunrise
We'll both be free
