She says "Just take him down"
Just take him down
Will I be released?
It was the judgement
And he falls to his knees
Stand up and just testify
Guilty of nothin' but loving you
How can you deny?
This is the judgement
'Cos he bowed it as something come over him
With a pitiful look of experience
With the trust of the deceived
I wait for my reprieve
He clings to the hem of her gown
Have mercy on me
And loved you too long
It's his sorrowful face
The wisdom of the fool
Hand down the judgement
Too heavy for his head
And I'm willin' to plead
Hopin' this torment will cease
And if I done wrong
A jury of your peers
Objection overruled
How you don't want me
There'll be lies, there'll be tears
