2							'Cause the jury found me guilty and the judge says I must die	2
	I'm just a poor young mountain boy						I'm just a poor young mountain boy
	Ain't never been to town						Ain't never been to town
11	And I've come to ruination						And I've come to ruination for the love of Carrie Brown	11
30	For the love of Carrie Brown							30
