about

This Blues track tells the story of Bridey Lynch, hanged for the murder of two men he claimed cheated him out of his winnings on a 'fixed' horse race. Demonstrating the old saying, 'Two wrongs don't make a right', but three do!

lyrics

Vs 1, I left them down by the gatehouse, both dead and gone. X2
Yeah, yeah. they're gonna hang me at dawn.
Vs 2, I put my money on a black nag and lost it all. That's how it went down.
I put my money on a black nag and lost it all, my plans went south.
Yeah yeah. I'm in the Big House.
Vs 3, I saw the rider take a backhand from the bookie man by the gatehouse. X2
Yeah yeah, I put them both down.
Br, Sitting here and I know I'll be hanging high tomorrow.
Vs 4, When i saw the money change hands it made me see red. X 2
Yeah yeah, Now they're both dead.
Rpt Vs 1
