about

A collaboration. David L. Graham sent me some lyrics and I came up with this. :-)

lyrics

There's gonna be a hanging in the morning
Cause Billy shot a man at the knife fight
The judge's, they laid the law on the jury
Said when they get to shooting someone's gonna die

There's gonna be a hanging in the morning
Billy's mama begged the sheriff to let him go
The sheriff, he told her to forgive him
But Mama, she knew the answer would have to be no

Hangman's coming...Hangman's coming
Tomorrow the gravediggers gonna dig that grave
Everybody knows that devil has to be paid
And the hangman's coming .. [pause] he'll be working today

That Billy gonna hate to see sunrise
And it's looking a lot like one dark night
The hangman, he’s coming in the morning
And that man always does his job right

Hangman's coming...Hangman's coming
Tomorrow the gravediggers gonna dig that grave
Everybody knows that devil has to be paid
And the hangman's coming ..he'll be working today

about

Deaf Steever Winnipeg, Manitoba

I try to come up with ideas and riffs that catch my ear, and then I piece 'em together until something (hopefully) slightly catchy and coherent emerges. I reckon that sums up my approach to songwriting. :-)

"Well, sir, I just make it sound like I think it ought to." - Mississippi John Hurt, when asked how he created his songs.

Cheers from Winnipeg, Canada, y'all! Go, Jets, go!!!
