Bobby Bare sings Lynching Party (master version).

"The lynch mob gathered in the square

Across from the jail

Young Billy watched them from his cell

And felt his courage fail

Bill swore he wasn't guilty

But the evidence was plain

Tomorrow he would go on trial

For killing Mary-Jane

They shouted ?feed? the prisoner ?hearty?

We're gonna have a lynching party

Gonna hang him high, watch him die

For killing Mary-Jane

The mob is closer to the jail

Excitement all around

The deputies kept moving back

Afraid to hold their ground

Then a young girl cried, you cowards

But the lynch mob surged ahead

Draged young Billy from that jail

And soon the kid was dead

They shouted ?feed? the prisoner ?hearty?

We're gonna have a lynching party

Gonna hang him high, watch him die

For killing Mary-Jane

Weeks went by and no one spoke

About it anymore

Or seemed to see the reef Bill's mother

Hung upon her door

Then one night they dragged a ragged

Hobo from a train

And he confessed he was the one

Who killed young Mary-Jane

They shouted ?feed? the prisoner ?hearty?

We're gonna have a lynching party

Gonna hang him high, watch him die

For killing Mary-Jane

Gonna hang him high, watch him die

For killing Mary-Jane

Gonna hang him high, watch him die

For killing Mary-Jane..."
