Another man done gone.
Another man done gone, from the county farm.
Another man done gone.

I didn't know his name.
I didn't know his name, I didn't know his name.
I didn't know his name.

He had a long chain on.
He had a long chain on, he had a long chain on.
He had a long chain on.

He killed another man.
He killed another man, he killed another man.
He killed another man.

Oh, to them you're just a number;
to me you're still a friend.
But i'm waiting for the thunder,
when lightning strikes again.

Yes, to them you're just a figure,
but I remember your name.
Now you've gone and got your haircut;
all your new friends look the same.
