Bars Of The County Jail Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - David Bowie

La la la la la la la la (etc.) 

Gather you all and listen here 

I'll tell you a tale if you lend me an ear 

I rode a horse through many a town 

But the devil rode me down to the ground 

I was to marry a very rich girl 

I loved her as only I can 

But the father was shot and his gold was stoled 

And now I'm the devil's man, na na na 

And now I sing a tale of woe 

Through the bars of the county jail, na la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la (etc.) 

I walked into the room one night 

I found her mother and gun 

Well, the man was dead and I kneeled and cried 

The sheriff ran in and said "I'm holding you, son" 

La la la la la la la la (etc.) 

Photos 

Through the day I sing and play 

For time is on my side 

But when the moon and stars come out 

I lay me down and cry 

For the Saviour, mar I lied 

Now I will not have a ride 

Beside the window the scaffold was made 

On the morrow I will hang... 

La la la la la la la la (etc.)
