(Aaron Allan - Charlie Walker)      As I went down to the river, poor boy   To watch the ships go by   My sweetheart's stood on the deck of one   She waved to me goodbye.      Bow down your head and cry (poor boy)   Bow down your head and cry   Stop thinking of that woman you love   Bow down your head and cry.      I followed her from months and months   She offered me her hand   We were just about to get married when she   Ran off with a gambling man.      He come at me with a big jack knife   I went and hit him with lead   And when that fight was over poor boy   He laid beside me dead.      Bow down your head and cry (poor boy)   Bow down your head and cry   Stop thinking of that woman you love   Bow down your head and cry.      --- Instrumental ---      They took me to that big jailhouse   The months and months rolled by   The jury found me guilty poor boy   And the judge said yoou're gonna die.      And yet they call this justice poor boy   Then justice let it be   I only killed a man who's just   A fixin' to kill me.      Bow down your head and cry (poor boy)   Bow down your head and cry   Stop thinking of that woman you love   Bow down your head and cry...
