(D. Yoakam)

Hey look yonder, Henry,
comes the sheriff
And he's carrying
a warrant in his hand
Don't you run, poor old Henry,
for he'll shoot you lordy boy
Not long will you be a free man

Chorus:
Now twenty years you must
spend behind steel bars
For a crime that
you did not do
Yeah the lie she swore
in that district court
Has proved to be
the ruin of you

Tried to warn you,
Henry, not to cross her
Tried to tell you
about her vengeful ways
When you turned and
left her for another
She swore, Henry,
that she'd make you pay

Chorus:
Now twenty years you must
spend behind steel bars
For a crime that
you did not do
Yeah the lie she swore
in that district court
Has proved to be
the ruin of you

Listen well,
all you young rounders
Heed the lesson
poor old Henry never learned
That even hell
with all its fiery power
Hath no fury
like a woman's scorn

Chorus:
Now twenty years you must
spend behind steel bars
For a crime that
you did not do
Yeah the lie she swore
in that district court
Has proved to be
the ruin of you

Yeah the lie she swore
in that district court
Has proved to be
the ruin of you
