Ladies and of the jury
I come you to plead for the life of Leon McDuff
Ladies and on the jury
I asking you to be the judge of when enough is

Now Leon has worked on his daddy's farm everyday since the day that he was born
Plowing in the fields and hoeing in the garden and helping pick the cotton and the
Then came the time of the Mississippi floods and all of his work down the drain
The land was parched by the sun and blown by the and finally washed away by the rain

So he went to his friends to get some from them but their crops and their money was all gone
So he went to the bank to mortgage his home but the bank wouldn't Leon a loan
He could not decide how his family would survive no crops and no money to buy food
And as he struggled with his to rework his land the notice came that said his land tax was due

Now in an air-conditioned office on the other side of town sat a government official with a
'Cause he'd been trying for so long to find land to build a home but cheap river land could not be found
Then in the middle of his gloom his boss walked in the room and said I've got real good news for the house you've planned
There's a farmer who's so poor and luck has run so sour that he can not pay the taxes on his land

So just you wait a week or two 'til the money's over due go to the cashier down the hall
With his deed in your hand pay the taxes on the land the sheriff give Leon McDuff a call
Have him tell Leon to move by the last day of July because the on his land are overdue
Tell him he has to move away 'cause the taxes were not paid then all his river belongs to you

Now in that air-conditioned office in about a week or two came the sheriff saying I've got some bad
That Leon McDuff says he's had some bad luck and try to get the money but he aint agonna' move
That official he jumped up and grabbed the sheriff by the arm he said going down to take that land today
So he and the sheriff drove down to Leon's farm to the McDuffs to move away

There stood Leon on his land with a shotgun in his hand, his eyes 'neath the brim of his hat
He said "I've worked hard on this as a boy and as a man I aint gonna lose it to no god damned bureaucrat."
that bureaucrat got mad and grabbed the gun in Leon's hand and in the struggle an explosion cracked the air
And when the and dust had cleared and the ringing left their ears, the sheriff lay a dying on the ground

Now on this table I will lay, this gun "Exhibit A" with two sets of as you can see
But other hands were here unperceived by eye or ear helped trigger off this awful tragedy
Now to me its still unclear just what really caused the here
There's much too much we've got to know before we know
So we can't find out today where all the should lay but it shouldn't be on Leon McDuff
