I think I may have had something to do with them keeping this song.
Back then, Crook was posting around on TSNET's board a lot and keeping real tight with the fans and people there, and noone really dug this song except for me and a few others. It was slated for removal, but I begged and begged Crook to get it on the final release.
If not, thanks anyways, Cork.
But, the lyrics on this are wrong.
They are as follows:
In 1969
i killed a man of mine
in a small Montana town
i was hunted down by hounds
hear the nighthawks cry
their voices dry and hollow
hear the crowd cheer
they cheer me to the gallows
In 1985
i was doing time alive
i made a plan to escape
and live as the lady of the lake
hear the crowd of ghosts
their voices dry and hollow
cant you hear them call?
they cheer me to the gallows
1995
was the year i came up for trial
i listened to his song
and watched the sun make the shadows long
hear the nighthawk call
his voices dry and hollow
hear the crowd call
they cheer me to the gallows
hear the nighthawk call
his voices dry and hollow
hear the nighthawk call
in a voice that's hollow
Another thing to note is that Crook used a (reportedly EXTREMELY old) record with audio of bullfights on it for the claps / chants on this song, and they were added after the initial recording.
