Paul Crump

In the state of Illinois 'bout nine years ago

A cold blooded killer he went against the law

He killed a factory guard when his robbery did fail

And they caught him and they threw him in the jail.
He lay there in his cell locked up with his hate
Not many men knew of him and less cared for his fate.
And he knew no peace of mind when his trial was comin' by
The judge said

Paul Crump

En el estado de Illinois hace unos nueve años
Un asesino a sangre fría desafió la ley
Mató a un guardia de fábrica cuando su robo falló
Y lo atraparon y lo arrojaron a la cárcel.
Permaneció allí en su celda encerrado con su odio
Pocos hombres sabían de él y a pocos les importaba su destino.
Y no encontraba paz mental cuando se acercaba su juicio
El juez dijo
