Luyện nghe bài hát Last Public Hanging In West Virginia

Rock of ages for me
Now that could be the voice of F Morgan in the Ripley jailhouse singin' hymns
Well ol' might just be singin' hymn this mornin'
Cause this is gonna be a day for him
Now people say that Johnny was a bad man and that he had a aim for mean
He took a hatchet one cold weary morning he killed two children and the widow
Five thousand people gathered there in Ripley by the sheriff Jay O Sean
Havin' fun and drinking moonshine and listenin' to ol' Johnny singin' hymn
The day dawned cold in Ripley West the scaffold stood in silence in a field
Johnny kept on singin' in the waiting there to eat his final meal
Then rumor started flying the gathering
That John F might get his reprieve
The people yelling toward the sheriff
Afraid they'd miss for all come to see
But Jay O Sean the of Jackson County
Afraid that such a could have been done
Said I said there was gonna be a hangin' and I still mean it a gonna be one
They led John from the Ripley jailhouse
And he rode the happy laughin' crowd
But when John Morgan upon the scaffold
They quiet when he tip his hat and bowed
They to the preacher say the last words
fixed the noose and tied John Morgan's hand
The signal and someone sprang the dead's trap
And sent John to another land
The last public hanging in old West Virginia a story written in this song
On the of December in fifteen ninety seven
F Morgan paid the price of doing wrong
