When The Curfew Blows - Woody Guthrie

The lonesomest sound, boys

I ever heard sound, boys

On the stroke of midnight

Hear the curfew blow

My buddy will hang, boys

On the hangman’s rope, boys

On the Gallus Pole, boys

When the curfew blows

Hear the curfew blowing

Hear the curfew blowing

In the coal black midnight

Hear the curfew blow

The sheriff’s men, boys

Are on my trail, boys

In the midnight wind, boys

Hear the curfew blow

And when they catch me

My body will hang, boys

On the Gallus Pole, boys

When the curfew blows

Hear the curfew blowing

Hear the curfew blowing

In the coal black midnight

Hear the curfew blow
