Letra de Lilli Schull

a great crowd has now gathered all around the jail today to see me executed and hear what I do say now I must hang this morning for the murder of Lilli Schull whom I so cruelly murdered and her body shamefully burned the fire where I burned her is again now within my sight her lovely face recovering and the fire that burned so bright the cries of poor Lilli again I can almost hear as she begged me not to kill her her life alone to spare now I bow down to Jesus in penitential grief and I beg him now to save me like he did the dying thief God bless my aged parents who mourn for me alone and my wife and baby who will be left alone it was then that I heard a whisper in a most gentle tone my grave is one sufficient to save the vilest one
