25 Minutes To Go
Recorded by Johnny Cash
Written by Shel Silverstein

G
Well they're building a gallows outside my cell 
                       D7
I've got 25 minutes to go
        
And the whole town's waiting just to hear me yell 
                    G
I got 24 minutes to go


Well they gave me some beans for my last meal 
                    D7
I got 23 minutes to go

But nobody ask me how I feel 
                    G
I got 22 minutes to go


Well I sent for the governor and the whole darn bunch 
                   D7
With 21 minutes to go

And I called up the mayor but he's out to lunch 
                         G
I got 20 more minutes to go


Then the sheriff said boy I'm gonna watch you die 
                   D7
With 19 minutes to go

So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye 
                   G
With 18 minutes to go 


Now here comes the preacher for to save my soul 
                   D7
With 13 minutes to go

And he's talking bout burning but I'm so cold 
                             G
And I got 12 more minutes to go


Now they're testing the trap and it chills my spine 
                        D7
With 11 more minutes to go

And the trap and the rope oh they work just fine 
                       G
Got 10 more minutes to go


Well I'm waiting for the pardon that'll set me free 
                       D7
With 9 more minutes to go

But this ain't the movies so forget about me 
                      G
Got 8 more minutes to go


With my feet on the trap and my head in the noose 
                  D7
5 more minutes to go

Won't somebody come and cut me loose 
                      G
Got 4 more minutes to go


I can see the mountains I can see the sky 
                  D7
3 more minutes to go

And it's too darn pretty for a man to wanna die 
                        G
I got 2 more minutes to go


I can see the buzzards I can hear the crows 
                 D7
1 more minute to go

And now I'm swinging 
                  
And here I go-o-o-o
