      Dm         F                     Am/D
Then I  begin to think what a deed I'd done

I grabbed my hat and away I run

stepped the sheriff from Thomasville
   C
He says, "Young man, ain't your name Brown?

                                   Am
me on the train and started me back

And I had no money for to go my bail

That judge and the jury, they took their stand
