Lyrics Joe Bean - Johnny Cash
Well,
they're
hanging
Joe
Bean
this
morning
For
killing
a
man
in
Arkansas
Funny
thing
about
it,
Joe
Bean
Never
even
heard
of
the
man
In
fact,
Joe
Bean
never
has
been
to
Arkansas
And
to
top
that
off
Today
is
Joe
Bean's
twentieth
birthday
See
where
the
gallows
stand
Joe
Bean
See
where
the
gallows
stand
Just
twenty
short
years
from
the
day
you
were
born
You'll
die
by
the
hangman's
hand
They're
hanging
Joe
Bean
this
morning
For
a
shooting
that
he
never
did
He
killed
twenty
men
By
the
time
he
was
ten
He
was
an
unruly
kid
But
they're
hanging
Joe
Bean
For
the
one
shooting
That
he
never
did
See
through
the
prison
bars
Joe
Bean
See
where
the
gallows
stand
Just
twenty
short
years
from
the
day
you
were
born
You'll
die
by
the
hangman's
hand
Well
your
mother's
at
the
Capitol
City
Asking
Governor
Sims
for
a
stay
And
it's
realy
hard
on
her
'Cause
she
knows
where
you
were
On
that
particular
day
You
were
working,
Joe
Bean
Hard
working
Robbing
the
Santa
Fe
Well,
the
telegraph
wires
are
humming
Here,
the
Governor's
words
come
through
I
can't
set
you
free,
'cause
it's
not
up
to
me
But
this
much,
Joe
Bean,
I'll
do
I'll
join
your
mother
in
extending
Birthday
greetings
to
you
Happy
Birthday,
Joe
Bean
Happy
Birthday,
Joe
Bean
Happy
Birthday,
Dear
Joe
Happy
Birthday,
to
you
1 Amen
