00:26Oh, the days are gone when I had a life to live.
00:34Time is getting short and there's no one to spend it with.
00:42For once there lived a man I had vowed to be his wife.
00:49But while walking home alone one night, someone took his life.
00:59Well, I was taken by three lone men to a jail just out of town.
01:07Though my lawyers tried on my behalf, no witness could be found.
01:15The trial soon came and I was then convicted of the crime.
01:23For no one would believe that I had been home all the time.
01:33Take me back, take me back, take me back
01:43where I belong.
01:47Take me back, take me back, take me back
01:59where I come from.
02:03Though this court has been my judgment, there's another yet to come.
02:11Well, he's a giver, he's a taker, as a judge the only one.
02:19Knowing as I talk with you, my future's looking black.
02:27With these last few words I ask you, won't you please, please take me back.
02:37Take me back, take me back, take me back where I belong.
02:51Take me back, take me back, take me back
03:03where I come from.
03:07Well, now I feel approaching darkness and my life before me flies.
03:15I can feel that rope around my ribs, the cloth around my eyes.
03:23With no future now before me and eternity below.
03:31Can you cut me down, please take me to the place I want to go.
03:41Take me back, take me back, take me back where I belong.
03:57Take me back, take me back, take me back where I come from.
04:11Take me back, take me back, take me back where I belong.
04:27Take me back, take me back, take me back where I belong.
