Drifter's Escape Lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Oh, help me in my weakness 

i heard the drifter say 

as they carried him from the court room 

and were taking him away 

well, my trip hasn't been a pleasant one 

and my time it isn't long 

and i still do not know 

what is was that i've done wrong 

well the judge he cast his robe aside 

a tear came to his eye 

well you fail to understand, he said 

why must you even try 

outside the crowd was stirring 

you could hear it from the door 

inside the judge was stepping down 

while the jury cried for more, more, more 

cried for more, cried for more 

hey you better leave that boy's soul alone 

oh stop that passing the jury 

grab me a tendon and me a nurse 

oh, the trial was bad enough 

yes, but this is ten times worse 

just then bolt of lightning 

showed the court house out of shape 

and while everybody knelt to pray 

the drifter made his escape 

the drifter did his escape 

yeah 

so long
