1. DEAD MAN WALKING
CHRIS SLOCOMBE 21/2/14 ( Bluesy Country Rock )
He was born one rainy night
On the wrong side of the tracks
His momma, she deserted him
And she never...ever came back
He was all alone
In a cruel, cruel world
No one to turn to
No one to hold
He learnt to survive
He learnt to be strong
But the path that he chose
Would often be wrong.
CHORUS }
He was a Dead Man Walking
Walking alone
Dead Man Walking, no one to hold
Dead Man Walking, just a holding on
Dead Man Walking, tryin’ to be strong.

2. He joined a gang
To be part of a crew
They mugged and they robbed
It was all that he knew
But on that fateful night
The plan went wrong
Someone got killed
They all started to run
Cop’s were called, shots rang out
All hell broke loose
People started to shout.
CHORUS }.......
As he rounded the corner
A bullet hit home
He fell to his knees
He started to groan
Before he could think
The cop’s held him down
Straight to a cell
They took him downtown.

3. The judge he was hard
The judge he was mean
He weighed up the evidence
That he had seen
No mercy was given
No mercy was shown
Down to the gallows
He walked all alone.
END CHORUS } (x 2 to fade)
