There'll be just one more sunrise in this cell for brother and me
He'll go home while I'll go to the hanging tree
Tell Betty I still love her and kiss her once for me
And tell mama at sunrise we'll both be free

Sitting in my prison cell the day is just beginning
My spirit's alike a grey on every wall
Beside me is my brother tomorrow we'll both be leaving
He'll go home while they'll lead me down the hall

He was always the blacksheep there's one in every family
But he was always just little brother to me
And that's why I took to blame when he killed a man in Knoxville
But tomorrow at sunrise we'll both be free
There'll be just one more sunrise...
Oh tell mama at sunrise we'll both be free
