The Last Testament of Angus Shane

By The Lost Dogs

In the morning they'll hang me
For a crime I ain't done
I confess I'm a sinner
But I've never killed no one

Lord be with my children
And dear Sarah my wife
Comfort their sorrows
Oh, I've loved them more than life

I've read the good book
Found comfort and peace
I'll not fear - even though death is near
Still I would do anything
I would give anything
To go back home
Home sweet home

I'm a ghost in a daydream
Unfettered and free
Pass right through these fences
My sweet Sarah runs to me

Worked hard for a living
Was honest but poor
Paid my debts - and I have few regrets
Still I would give anything
I would do anything
To see my home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home

I pray for the fathers
The husbands and friends
False accused
Whose last requests were refused
They cry: I would do anything
I would give anything
To see my home
Home sweet home
