Well they're hangin' Joe Bean this mornin' for killin' a man in Arkansas Funny thing about it Joe Bean never has been to Arkansas to top that Joe Bean never heard of the man In fact today is Joe Bean's 20th birthdaySee through the prison bars Joe Bean see where the gallows standJust twenty short years from the day you were born you'll die by the hangman's handThey're hangin' Joe Bean this mornin' for a shootin' that he never didHe killed twenty men by the time he was ten he was an unruly kidBut they're hangin' Joe Bean for the one shootin' that Joe Bean never didWell your mother's in capitol city asking Governor Simms for a stay And it's really hard on her cause she knows Where you were on that particular dayYou were workin' Joe Bean hard workin' robbing the Santa FeWell the telegraph wires're hummin' hear the Governor's words come throughI can't set you free cause it's not up to me but this much Joe Bean I'll doI'll join your mother in extending birthday greetings to youHappy birthday Joe Bean
