Lyrics
The lonesomest sound, boys
I ever heard sound at the stroke of midnight
Hear the curfew blow
The Sheriff's men, boys
They're on my tail in the midnight wind
Hear the curfew blow
And when they catch me
My body will hang on the gallows pole
When the curfew blows
Hear the curfew blowin'
The curfew blowin' in the coal-black midnight
Hear the curfew blow
Hear the curfew blowin'
The curfew blowin' in the coal-black midnight
Hear the curfew blow
And in the coal-black midnight
Hear the curfew blow
Now, my only crime is not being your kind
At the stroke of midnight, I'll hang below
At the stroke of midnight, I'll hang below
And now they caught me
And my body will hang on the gallows pole
When the curfew blows
Hear the curfew blowin'
The curfew blowin' in the coal-black midnight
Hear the curfew blow
Hear the curfew blowin'
The curfew blowin' in the coal-black midnight
Hear the curfew blow
Hear the curfew blowin'
The curfew blowin' in the coal-black midnight
Hear the curfew blow
Hear the curfew blowin'
The curfew blowin' in the coal-black midnight
Hear the curfew blow
In the coal-black midnight
Hear the curfew blow
In the coal-black midnight
Hear the curfew blow
