Joe Mansman and the Midnight Revival Band - Long Rope

Seen the sun beat down on a lot of good folks
Seen the rain yield crops for the greedy and the no good
Seen beggars dwelling where the rich men sit
Seen a thief gun down for feeding his kids
Seen men give the devil they're souls for gold
Seen good folks eaten by the worms and crows
Fools dancing on their graves, they boast
"What a pity for the cost of the life you sold"

Been hangin' in the wind on a long, long rope
Locking eyes with a crowd full of hearts so cold
Oh Lord give a sinner this one last hope
Have mercy on a bad man's soul

Seen a widow run away with her lover's foe
And left the son to bury his old man's bones
Seen a man slave away for a low paid wage
While a rich dines with a smile n his face

Been hangin' in the wind on a long, long rope
Locking eyes with a crowd full of hearts so cold
Oh Lord give a sinner this one last hope
Have mercy on a bad man's soul

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me (Hallelujah)
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now i see

Been hangin' in the wind on a long, long rope
Locking eyes with a crowd full of hearts so cold
Oh Lord give a sinner this one last hope
Have mercy on a bad man's soul
