The next day was hangin’ day, the sky was overcast and black
Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back
And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn’t even blink
The hangin’ judge was sober, he hadn’t had a drink
The only person on the scene missin’ was the Jack of Hearts
This is from Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts by Bob Dylan........A line that always bothered me, the last one, how can you be on the scene missing? if it sounds good use it I guess.
