[00:00.00]Kenney Wagner's Surrender - Ernest Stoneman
[00:21.08]I'm sure you've heard my story
[00:23.71]From the Kenny Wagner song
[00:26.30]How down in Mississippi
[00:28.79]I took the road that's wrong
[00:32.18]It was down in Mississippi
[00:34.78]Where I murdered my first man
[00:37.21]When the sheriff there at Leakesville
[00:39.70]For justice took his stand
[00:43.22]Then I went from Mississippi
[00:45.50]To the state of Tennessee
[00:47.95]Two men went down before me
[00:50.29]As I took my liberty
[00:53.87]I wandered to the country
[00:56.40]I never could find rest
[00:58.78]'Til I went to Texarkana
[01:01.21]Away out in the west
[01:04.69]Again I started drinking
[01:07.18]And again I pulled my gun
[01:09.51]And within a single moment
[01:11.95]The deadly work was done
[01:15.27]The sheriff was a woman
[01:17.93]But she got the drop on me
[01:20.27]I quit the game and surrendered
[01:22.65]Gave up my liberty
[01:36.37]I'm now in Mississippi
[01:38.83]And I soon shall know my fate
[01:41.29]I'm waiting for my trial
[01:43.60]But I do not dread my fate
[01:45.82]For still the sun is shining
[01:48.59]And the sky is blue and fair
[01:50.95]But my heart is not repining
[01:53.37]For I do not fear the chair
[01:56.77]I've had my worldly pleasures
[01:59.21]I've faced a many a man
[02:01.64]But it was down in Texarkana
[02:04.11]Where a woman called my hand
[02:07.44]Young men young men take warning
[02:09.93]Oh take my last advice
[02:12.31]If you start the game in life wrong
[02:14.75]You must surely pay the price
