Verse 
Cm                     Gm 
Old judge Jones never gave a man a break 
Cm                        Gm 
On his hangin' tree the leaves don't shake 
Cm                 Gm 
That man in black, what did he say ? 
Ab                            Bb 
A hundred years and one dark day 

Cm              Gm 
A widow's tear filled with pain 
Cm                       Gm 
Can make the blue skies shed some rain 
Cm                     Gm 
You people think that you got the blues 
Ab                        Fm     Gm 
Wait 'til you read our everyday news 

Fm         Ab           Eb              Cm 
One more hung from the tree, last night 
Fm         Ab          Cm 
Old judge Jones done took another life 
Fm          Ab     Cm 
Folks keep prayin' it would end 
    Ab        Fm               Gm Cm 
But sad as it is it'll happen again

Verse 
Cm                     Gm 
You'd think we wouldn't put up with it 
Cm                             Gm 
He'd bust an old lady for a sidewalk spit 
Cm                          Gm 
Church on Sunday he's the first in line 
Ab                    Gm 
Last week gave the preacher a fine 

Cm                         Gm 
You can't hate a man for what he must do 
Cm                                   Gm 
But if his cause ain't just and his word untrue 
Cm                       Gm 
That man in the robe's a devil in disguise 
Ab                        Fm 
The bailiff's books are filled with lies 

Ab                 Cm 
Election time the Jones will never lose 
Ab                             Cm 
With a gun at your back in the voting booth 
Fm                       Cm 
You can't do what you think is right 
Ab  Gm    Fm           Gm     Cm 
Sad as it is another hangin' tonight
