The Gallows Gate

Well there's a litany of sins I don't know where to begin dear its frightening

Here in the grips of the law every fault every flaw on the stand

For the larceny is grand and the law of the land frowns upon me

There's a trail of deceit laid there at your feet but I have no leg to stand

So here I am shackled bound for the scaffold I must face the judgment at hand

Damn all the vipers and the unpaid pipers for no one understands

For I've broken my vows I've burned down the house

I'm resigned to my fate for me it's much too late

Darling our love has a date at the Gallows Gate

As the hangman appears and the hour draws near my mind wanders

Was our love always cursed and bound for the hearse by my crimes

For I've been at large I'm guilty as charged

You can go ahead and throw away the key

I've perjured and libeled though I swore on the bible

I've burned every bridge into the sea

I'll mount no defenses please spare the expenses

And spare the poor jury their time

I'm here to confess to the whole bloody mess

You don't know the half of my crimes

Forgive me my dear it's worse than you fear

I've resigned to my fate for me it's much too late

Darling our love has a date at the Gallows Gate

Darling please don't be late

As I'm lead down the hall I fondly recall the greatest of all of my crimes

How I buried the hatchet mad as a bat's shit

in the back of a clergyman's spine

For I'm fatally flawed rejected by God

I'm resigned to my fate for me it's much too late

Darling our love has a date at the Gallows Gate

Darling please don't be late

At the Gallows Gate

The Gallows Gate

At the Gallows Gate

The Gallows Gate

At the Gallows Gate

The Gallows Gate

At the Gallows Gate
