Hangman Jury Lyrics

Lyric discussion by rabbitbunny 

Cover art for Hangman Jury lyrics by Aerosmith

Another brilliant Aerosmith blues with Steven Tyler's harp blown front and center. The melody is based on a Leadbelly/Charley Patton/Robert Johnson-style delta blues but Joe Perry's guitar is Metal/Rock and Tyler's writing definitely is about his ongoing battle with drugs and the sad realization if he's ever gonna be sober after all-it may never happen if at all-"I Swear I Didn't know that .45 Was Loaded/In fact My Memory Ain't Too Clear!..." Harrowing Song!
