It was a rainy night and all
the windows were tight
And there were thirteen
people in the house
The owner and his wife,

Cook with her knife,
a couple named Smythe.
Verse 2
Bb
Eb
The Andersons were there with
Bb
another strange pair
Eb
Bb
And the scary caretaker and me
The clock struck one,
there was the sound of a gun
And I heard somebody run away.
Verse 3
Bb
And the twelve who were alive
had terror in their eyes
And I overheard the

Andersons say .
Bb
'Who could have done

it?'
'Who could have done it?'
And I wonder where's the cook
and her knife
'Madam' - said Adam

'It was the shot we heard
that took her life'.

The other couple named Sloan
and I ran to the phone

To call the police but just then

All the power went out and
we heard a great shout
And we knew for someone
else it was the end.
Eb
And when the power
Verse 6
Bb
came on,
we were shocked with alarm
Eb
Bb
For instead of being twelve,
Verse 7
we were ten.
Bb
Who could have done it?
Who could have done it?
The Andersons were such a nice pair.
Verse 8
Bb
Now the owner and his wife,
Eb
both afraid for their life
Bb
Eb
So they hurried to the door to run away
Bb
But before they got there,
there was a whistle through the air
Eb
Bb
Then another,
Eb
then they both had passed away.
Verse 9
Bb
There were seven of us left now,
afraid of death now
But I knew it wasn't me
Eb
or the Sloans
Bb
'Cause when the power went out
Eb
and we heard the others shout
Bb
We were out there in the
hallway on the phone.
Eb
That left the butler
Verse 10
Bb
and his wife
Eb
and the couple named Smythe
Bb
And the old scary caretaker too
Eb
Bb
So the Sloans and I,
who were both afraid to die
Had to think of something quick we could do.
Eb
So we
Verse 11
Bb
called the Smythes and
Eb
the butler and his wife
Bb
Eb
And we gathered in the drawing room
Bb
But before we could call
for the caretaker too
Eb
Bb
It was too late for he had met his doom.
Eb
It looked like
Verse 12
Bb
F
poison.
Verse 13
Bb
That left five, five, five were still alive
Eb
Bb
The Sloans, the Smythes and myself
Once again the lights went out
and I heard a great shout
From both the Smythes
and the Sloans.
Verse 14
Bb
And then the lights came on again
and I looked around again
And everybody was dead
Eb
and I was alone.

Verse 15
Eb
Bb
Well, I must have passed out
for the next thing I knew
Eb
Bb
I was awakened with my hands in chains
Eb
Bb
There was a man with a gun and he
said: 'Don't bother, son'
Eb
Bb
'You'll have plenty of
time to explain'.
Verse 16
Bb
I was rushed to a car, then taken to a cell
And a lawyer came in and said his name
Eb
Bb
He said: 'I'm sure you told the truth but the truth is,
my boy'
'To believe in the judge would
be insane'.
Verse 17
Bb
'Now before I pass sentence on you,
have you anything to say?'
I said: 'Are you kiddin'?'
Eb
Bb
I said: 'This must be a dream' - I said:
'This can't be real'
'You don't believe a word
that I've said'.
Eb
And then he
Verse 18
Bb
looked me in the eye
and said: 'Have mercy on his soul'
Eb
Bb
And I was hanged by the neck until dead,
Ab

have mercy.

Hey,
Verse 19
Eb

wait a minute, hey, stop
Eb
Hey, would you mind rewind
Bb
Eb
ing that last sentence?
Bb
I mean, hanged by the what?
Eb
Bb
Until when?
Hey, listen, I think you made a little,
I mean I think you made a large mistake here
First of all, I was in Colorado having breakfast with a nun,
Eb
Bb
OK?
What do you mean? There's nothing
to get hung up about
I mean, you should be in here
Hey, you ever heard of the word appeal?
Bb
Eb
Bb
Bb
Well, I'm about to appeal you off that bench
in a minute unless you change that decision
Listen, I got a lot,
I mean I had a lot of friends in this town
Hey, I want to see my congress man.
