25 Minutes to Go (At Folsom Prison) Johnny Cash

Well, they're building a gallows outside my cell
And I've got 25 minutes to go
And the whole town's waiting just to hear me yell
I got 24 minutes to go

Well, they gave me some beans for my last meal
With 23 minutes to go
But nobody asked me how I feel
I got 22 minutes to go

Well, I sent for the governor and the whole durn bunch
With 21 minutes to go
And I called up the mayor but he's out to lunch
I got 20 more minutes to go

Then the sheriff said boy, I'm gonna watch you die
With 19 minutes to go
So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye
With 18 minutes to go

Now here comes the preacher for to save my soul
With 13 minutes to go
And he's talking about burning but I'm so cold
12 more minutes to go

Well, they're testing the trap and it chills my spine
11 more minutes to go
And the trap and the rope, aw, they work just fine
10 more minutes to go
