Tim Evans was a prisoner down in his prison cell,

Am                                  G
those that rants about his crime condamned his soul to hell.

Go down, you murderer, go down.

For the killing of his own dear wife and the murder of his child,

    Am                            G
the jury found him guilty and the hanging judge he smiled.

Tim Evans walked around the yard and the screws they walked behind,

   Am                             G
he saw the sky above the wall but knew no peace of mind.

   Am        G            Am
Go down, you murderer, go down.

Go down, you murderer, go down.

Go down, you murderer, go down.

A thousand lads were screaming and banging at their door,

    Am                             G
Tim Evans didn't hear them, he was deaf forever more.

   Am        G            Am
Go down, you murderer, go down.
[Verse 8]
     Am                               G
They sent Tim Evans to the drop for a crime he didn't do,

     Am                             G
it's Christie was the murderer, the judge and jury too.

   Am        G             Am
Go down, you murderers, go down.

Go down, you murderers, go down.

Go down, you murderers, go down.

Go down, you murderers, go down.
