Lyrics to Head Hung Down

I woke up this mornin' in the pourin' rain

Underneath the trestle of a northbound train

Gotta get back home, I've been away too long

I'm afraid my baby gonna do me wrong

I can still see her standin' in the bright sunshine

Her blue eyes shinin' like diamonds in a mine

But I've been stranded in this one-horse town

Standing on the corner with my head hung down

Got in a little trouble in Greenwood Town

The sheriff and his brother tried to run me down

I told 'im "I'm just goin' back to Tennessee

I have a little woman waitin' there for me"

I can still see her standin' in the bright sunshine

Her blue eyes shinin' like diamonds in a mine

But I've been stranded in this one-horse town

Standing on the corner with my head hung down

When the sheriff grabbed me, well, I broke his arm

He said, "I'm gonna send you to the parchment farm."

When I asked the judge, "Hey! What did I do wrong?"

"Well son, you stayed in Mississippi one day too long."

I can still see her standin' in the bright sunshine

Her blue eyes shinin' like diamonds in a mine

But I've been stranded in this one-horse town

Standing on the corner with my head hung down

I can still see her standin' in the bright sunshine

Her blue eyes shinin' like diamonds in a mine

But I've been stranded in this one-horse town

Standing on the corner with my head hung down

Standin' on the corner with my head hung down

All right! Mighty fine!
