When the Curfew Blows (Curfew Blow) Woody Guthrie

The lonesomest sound, boys
I ever heard sound, boys
On the stroke of midnight
Hear the curfew blow

My buddy will hang, boys
On the hangman's rope, boys
On the Gallus Pole, boys
When the curfew blows

Hear the curfew blowing
Hear the curfew blowing
In the coal black midnight
Hear the curfew blow

The sheriff's men, boys
Are on my trail, boys
In the midnight wind, boys
Hear the curfew blow

And when they catch me
My body will hang, boys
On the Gallus Pole, boys
When the curfew blows

Hear the curfew blowing
Hear the curfew blowing
In the coal black midnight
Hear the curfew blow
