&quot;Last time we were here at Folsom Prison, they were hanging Joe Bean. Is Joe still here... Joe Bean? Hang the son of a <br />Bitch anyways, right?&quot; <br /> <br />Well, they're hanging Joe Bean this morning, for killing a man in Arkansas. Funny thing about it, Joe Bean has never been <br />To Arkansas. On top of that, Joe Bean never heard of the man. In fact, today is Joe Bean's twentieth birthday. <br /> <br />See through the prison bars, Joe Bean, see where the gallows stand. Just twenty short years from the day you were born, <br />You die by the hangman's hand. <br /> <br />Yes, they're hanging Joe Bean this morning, for a shooting that he never did. He killed 20 men, by the time he was 10, he <br />Was an unruly kid. <br /> <br />Yes, they're hanging Joe Bean for the one shooting that Joe Bean never did. <br /> <br />Well, Joe - your mother is at the Capitol, asking the governor for a stay. And it's hard on her, 'cause she knows where <br />You were, on that particular day. You were working, Joe Bean, hardworking, robbing the Santa Fe. <br /> <br />Well, the telegraph wires are humming. Hear the governor's words come through. He said, &quot;I can't set you free, it's not <br />Up to me, but this much, Joe Bean, I'll do. I'll join your mother in extending birthday greetings to you. Happy Birthday, <br />Joe Bean.&quot;
