The Lynch mob gathered in the square across from the jail

Young Billy watched them from his cell and felt his courage fail

Tomorrow he would go on trial for killing Mary Jane

They shouted beat the prisoner hardy we're gonna have a Lynchin' party

Gonna hang him high watch him die for killing Mary Jane
