Drifter's Escape - Joan Baez
"Help me in my weakness"
I heard the drifter say

As they carried him from the courtroom
And were taking him away

"My trip hasn't been a pleasant one
My time it isn't long

And I still do not know
What it was that I've done wrong"

Well the judge he cast his robe aside
A tear came to his eye

"You fail to understand" he said
"Why must you even try"

Outside the crowd was stirring
You could hear it from the door

Inside the judge was stepping down
While the jury cried for more

"Oh stop that cursed jury"
Cried the attendant and the nurse

The trial was bad enough
But this is ten times worse

Just then a bolt of lightning
Struck the courthouse out of shape

And while everybody knelt to pray
The drifter did escape
