This song's meaning is pretty obvious and Jack Savoretti is very good at this.
This song is merely about a young man who was a father and husband who may have been blamed/committed for/a crime."They killed a man for doing wrong today"
"Will they ever know the last words he spoke?
He cried, "Mother!" as the people stood and stared
He cried, "Mother!" but no one seemed to care" - This quote suggests that the time set was before the 20th century when Public Executions existed and people came to watch.
This song is one of the most saddest song's in Jack Savoretti's 'Harder Than Easy' Album.
