I Hung My Head

Infer the story of the song from these lines:

I saw a lone rider crossing the plain 

My brother's rifle went off in my hand

I kept on running into the south lands

The sheriff he asked me why had I run

I see the judge high up in his chair

I begged their forgiveness, I wish I was dead

I see the gallows up on the hill

I see a lone rider crossing the plain

I Hung my Head

Lyrics

I Hung my Head

Early one morning with time to kill
I __________ Jeb's rifle and sat on the hill
I __________ a lone rider crossing the plain
I __________ a bead on him, to practice my aim

My brother's rifle _________ off in my hand
A shot _________ out across the land
The horse, he _________ running, the rider _________ dead

I _________ my head, I hung my head

 

Who is Jeb?

What tense are the missing verbs in?

 

I _________ off running to wake from the dream
My brother's rifle ___________ into the sheen
I _________ on running into the south lands
That's where they _________ me, my head in my hands

The sheriff he _________ me why had I run
And then it _________ to me, just what I had done
And all for no reason, just one piece of lead

I _________ my head, I hung my head

 

Why do you think the man ran?

 

 

Here in the courthouse, the whole town _________ there
I _________ the judge high up in his chair
_________ to the courtroom what went through your mind
And we'll _________ the jury what verdict they _________

 

What tense are the missing verbs in? Why has this changed?

I _________ the power of death over life
I _________ his children, I _________ his wife
I _________ their forgiveness, I wish I _________ dead

I hung my head, I hung my head
I hung my head, I hung my head

 

Should the man be forgiven? Why, why not?

 

Early one morning with time to kill
I _________ the gallows up on the hill
And out in the distance, a trick of the brain
I _________ a lone rider crossing the plain

And he'd _________ to fetch me, to see what they'd done
And we'll _________ together to kingdom come
I _________ for God's mercy, for soon I'll be dead

I hung my head, I hung my head
I hung my head, I hung my head

One day me and my family did go to the capital city of my country Amsterdam. We did go by car and we would park it at a village nearby. When we did arrive at the parking spot. We parked the car there. To go to the centre of the city we had to take the train. Then we did go to the canal to take a canal tour. We had a lovely trip. After we arrived back at our car we drove back to our home. When we did drive home we saw a sign of Mcdonalds.
