Hendrix Jimi Drifter`s Escape Lyrics

Drifter`s Escape Lyrics

OH, HELP ME IN MY WEAKNESS

 I HEARD THE DRIFTER SAY

 AS THEY CARRIED HIM FROM THE COURT ROOM 

 AND WERE TAKING HIM AWAY

 WELL, MY TRIP HASN'T BEEN A PLEASANT ONE

 AND MY TIME IT ISN'T LONG

 AND I STILL DO NOT KNOW 

 WHAT IS WAS THAT I'VE DONE WRONG

 

 WELL THE JUDGE HE CAST HIS ROBE ASIDE

 A TEAR CAME TO HIS EYE

 WELL YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND, HE SAID

 WHY MUST YOU EVEN TRY

 OUTSIDE THE CROWD WAS STIRRING

 YOU COULD HEAR IT FROM THE DOOR

 INSIDE THE JUDGE WAS STEPPING DOWN

 WHILE THE JURY CRIED FOR MORE, MORE, MORE

 CRIED FOR MORE, CRIED FOR MORE

 

 HEY YOU BETTER LEAVE THAT BOY'S SOUL ALONE

 

 OH STOP THAT PASSING THE JURY

 GRAB ME A TENDON AND ME A NURSE

 OH, THE TRIAL WAS BAD ENOUGH

 YES, BUT THIS IS TEN TIMES WORSE

 JUST THEN BOLT OF LIGHTNING

 SHOWED THE COURT HOUSE OUT OF SHAPE

 AND WHILE EVERYBODY KNELT TO PRAY

 THE DRIFTER MADE HIS ESCAPE

 THE DRIFTER DID HIS ESCAPE

 YEAH

 SO LONG
