One More Sunrise

(L.E. White)



There'll be just one more sunrise

In this cell for brother and me

He'll go home while I'll go

To the hanging tree.



Tell Betty I still love her

And kiss her once for me

And tell mama at sunrise

We'll both be free.



Sitting in my prison cell

The day is just beginning

My spirit's alike a grey

On every wall.



Beside is my brother

Tomorrow we'll both be leaving

He'll go home while they'll lead me

Down the hall.



He was always the blacksheep

There's one in every family

But he was always

Just little brother to me.



And that's why I took the blame

When he killed a man in Knoxville

But tomorrow at sunrise we'll both be free

There'll be just one more sunrise.



Oh, tell mama at sunrise

We'll both be free...
