Lyrics Hiram Hubbard - Bob Dylan

But Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty
I've heard a great many say
Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty
I've heard a great many say
He was not in this county
He was forty miles away

But they took him out at midnight
And they strapped him to a tree
Yes, they took him out at midnight
And they strapped him to a tree
It was there that they killed him
With rifle bullets three

But Hiram Hubbard was not guilty
Lord, I heard a great many say
Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty
I heard a great many say
He was not in this county
He was forty miles away
