25 Minutes to Go - Live at Folsom State Prison, Folsom, CA (1st Show) - January 1968

Well they're building a gallows outside my cell I've got 25 minutes to go
 And the whole town's waitin' just to hear me yell I've got 23 minutes to go
 Well they gave me some beans for my last meal I've got 22 minutes to go
 But nobody asked me how I feel I've got 22 minutes to go
 Well I sent for the governor and the whole dern bunch with 21 minutes to go
 And I called up the mayor but he's out to lunch I've got 20 more minutes to go
 Then the sheriff said boy I gonna watch you die, got 19 minutes to go
 So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye, 18 minutes to go
 Now hear comes the preacher for to save my soul with 13 minutes to go
 And he's talking bout' burnin' but I'm so cold I've got 12 more minutes to go
 Well they're testin' the trap and it chills my spine 11 more minutes to go
 And the trap and the rope aw they work just fine I've got 10 more minutes to go
 Well I'm waitin' on the pardon that'll set me free, I've got 9 more minutes to go
 But this is for real so forget about me I've got 8 more minutes to go
 With my feet on the trap and my head on the noose got 5 more minutes to go
 Won't somebody come and cut me loose, I've got 4 more minutes to go
 I can see the mountains I can see the skies, 3 more minutes to go
 And it's to dern pretty for a man that don't wanna die, I've got 2 more minutes to go
 I can see the buzzards I can hear the crows, 1 more minute to go
 And now I'm swingin' and here I go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!
