Verses:
1. Well, I wove the rope
And I picked the spot
Well, I stuck out my neck
And I tightened the knot
Oh, stranger, stranger
How near our time (*in the liner notes it is "It don't do to
waste time")
You stretch out your hand
I stretch out mine
Chorus: Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just a hand
Stranger will you reach me in time
In time
2. Well I scuppered the ship
And I bent the rail
And I cut the brake
And I ripped the sail
And they called me a Jonah
It's a sin I survived
You stretch out your hand
I stretch out mine
3. Shoot that old horse
Break in the new
The hung are many
The living are few
I see your intention
Here's my neck on the line
You stretch out your hand
I stretch out mine
