The Fate Of Dewey Lee - The Carter Family
'Twas on one Saturday evening about the hour of ten

In a little mining town where trouble did begin
Everybody there were drinking

There were whisky everywhere

Dewey Lee got to thinking he had no business there

He was so tall and handsome
His heart so true and brave

Joe Jenkins pulled his pistol and sent him to his grave

He took the life of Dewey when life had just begin

And Dewey went to heaven while Joe went to the pen

He took the life of Dewey

Because he would not tell

We know he murdered Dewey for here his pistol fell

His mother sits now weeping

She weeps and mourns all day

She prays to meet her boy in a better world some day

So hearken to my story and what I have to say

Get right with your maker

We'll meet him again some day

But first to Stand up boy and listen to your crime

They sent him down to Richmond to serve out his time

Young men all take warning

For this you must have guilt

Don't take the life of anyone for life you cannot give

You may possess great riches like many beneath the sod

But money won't hire a lawyer
When you stand before your God
