Lyrics Roane County Prison - Bill Monroe
In
the
beautiful
hills
in
the
mists
of
Roane
County
There's
where
I
have
roamed
for
many
long
years
There's
where
my
heart's
been
tendin'
most
ever
There's
where
the
first
step
of
misfortune
I
made
It's
about
30
years
when
I
courted
and
married
Armanda
Gilbraith,
I'd
soon
call
my
wife
Her
brother,
he
stabbed
me
for
some
unknown
reason
Just
three
month's
later,
I'd
taken
Tom's
life
I
was
captured
and
tried
in
the
village
of
Kingston
Not
a
man
in
that
county
would
speak
one
kind
word
When
the
jury
came
in
with
the
verdict
next
mornin'
A
lifetime
in
prison
was
the
words
that
I
heard
When
the
train
pulled
out
poor
Mother
stood
weepin'
And
sister
she
sat
all
alone
with
a
sigh
And
the
last
words
I
heard
was
"Willy
God
bless
you"
Was
"Willy
God
bless
you
God
bless
you
goodbye"
In
the
scorching
hot
sand
of
the
foundry
I'm
workin'
Toiling
and
working
my
poor
life
away
They'll
measure
my
grave
on
the
banks
of
old
Cumberland
Just
as
soon
as
I
finish
the
rest
of
my
days
Boys
when
you
write
home
from
this
prison
in
Nashville
Place
one
of
my
songs
in
your
letter
for
me
