(Shel Silverstein)
Well, they're buildin' the gallows outside this jail.
I've got 25 minutes to go.
And the whole towns waiting just to hear me wail.
There's 24 minutes to go.
Well, they give me some beans for my last meal.

I got 14 minutes to go.
Now, here comes the padre to save my soul.
With 13 minutes to go.
And he's talkin' about burnin', but I'm so cold.
I've got 12 minutes to go.
Now they're testin' the trap. And it chills my spine.
11 more minutes to go.
And the trap and the rope, ah they works just fine.
I've got 10 minutes to go.
Well, I'm a-waitin' for the pardon, gonna set me free
With 9 minutes to go.
But this ain't the movies, so forget about me.
I got 8 minutes to go.
Now I'm climbin' up the ladder to the scaffold there
With 7 minutes to go.
Now I'd better watch my step or else I'll break my leg.
I got 6 minutes to go.
With my feet on the trap and my head in the noose
5 minutes to go.
Won't someone come and cut me loose.
I got 4 minutes to go.
I can see the mountains, see the sky.
3 minutes to go.
And it's too darned pretty for a man don't wanna die.
I got 2 minutes to go.
I can hear the buzzards, hear the crows.
1 minute to go.
And now I'm swingin' and here I gooooooooo...
The Brothers Four are an American folk group founded in 1957 in Seattle, Washington.

Their first professional performances were the result of a prank played on them in 1958 by a rival fraternity, who had arranged for someone to call them, pretend to be from Seattle's Colony Club, and invite them to come down to audition for a gig.
