Tim Evans was a prisoner down in his prison cell

And those who read about his crimes, condemned his soul to hell
D C D C D
Saying, "Go down, you murderer, go down, you murderer, go down"
[Verse]

For the killing of his own dear wife and the murder of his child

The jury found him guilty, the hanging judge, he smiled
