Walking The Last Mile Lyrics - Hank Snow

Walking the last mile so weary and slow 

It leads to the gallows from where I don't know 

One step every minute each minute seems as a year 

This parting is bitter when no friend is near 

If I had one wish Lawd and that could come true 

I'd wish I was pardoned and back home with you 

I'd get on my knees Lawd and if you'd forgive 

No more would I hurt you as long as I live 

(The way I go on Lawd is crashing my soul 

It's hard to be tied down in this prison hole) 

There is one regret Lawd that tortures my brain 

It's that I've been careless in causing you pain 

Walking the last mile with each step of blare 

Praying forgiveness from him way up there 

Oh please say a prayer Lawd for it's my last keep 

Please pray the great Master shows mercy on me 

Perhaps in the next world on that judgement day 

I'll find that the Master washed my sins away 

There I'll hold my head up when my soul is free 

And rest in your arm Lawd through eternity
