lyrics
Climb the steps of the gallows
thirteen pinewood stairs
a crowd gathered round to see him laid down
for what they could not care...
Children strained to see 'neath a hot noon sun
a man about to hang for a crime he never done...
Katie may she made her way
by the silk and satin gown
A debutante, by all account she threw aside her crown
High Society payed her no pity...
until she got a knife right through the heart
As the blood pooled around her blond Golden Crown
a judge's daughter Never Dies alone
Tyler Brown came from a side of town
where the sun refused to shine
He was born to a ma' that had done 'em all
she never seemed to mind
A modest act cost ten 'fitty
for twenty more she'd cross the line...
but when he met Katie may it strangled up his mind
a judge's daughter Never Dies alone
Sheriff Bill was the King of the Hill
he had the whole town scared to spit
he was drawn to a girl, that one little doll
that little blonde he could never get...
Katie Mae told Bill No..I'll never play your game
but no wasn't a word Billy knew
Late that night when he came around
to lay poor Katie down.....
a judge's daughter went and died alone
well, climb the steps of The Gallows
thirteen pinewood stairs
a crowd gathered 'round to see him laid down
for what they could not care...
Children strained to see 'neath a hot noon sun
a man about to hang for a crime he never done...
And when they came around to cut poor Tyler down
an innocent man went Swinging From The Gallows that day
