G
The lonesomest sound, boys,
G
I ever heard sound, boys,
                 D7
On the stroke of midnight,
                G
Hear the curfew blow.


[Verse 2]
G
And if they catch you.
G
They will jail you.
            D7
In the city lockup
                G
When the curfew blows.


[Chorus]
G
Hear the curfew blow boy,
G
Hear the curfew blow boy,
                  D7
In the coal black midnight,
                G
Hear the curfew blow.


[Verse 3]
G
The sheriff's men, boy,
G
Are on my trail, boy,
                D7
In the midnight wind, boy,
                G
Hear the curfew blow.
 

[Verse 4]
G
If they catch me,
G
My body will hang, boys,
              D7
On the Gallus Pole, boys,
                G
When the curfew blows.


[Chorus]
G
Hear the curfew blow boy,
G
Hear the curfew blow boy,
                  D7
In the coal black midnight,
                G
Hear the curfew blow.


[Chorus]
G
Hear the curfew blow boy,
G
Hear the curfew blow boy,
                  D7
In the coal black midnight,
                G
Hear the curfew blow.
