Appointment at high noon
Verse
I beg you don’t cry for me
It’s a waste of tears.
I’ve been my worst enemy.
I’ve brought trouble here.
Ain’t no amount of rain ;
Washing it away.
Time to face the consequence.
Time for me to pay.
Pre chorus
Too late for I’m sorry
Too late to repent.
Don’t feel sorry for me.
Lived a life of sin.
Chorus
Hangman he’s a coming.
He’s gonna be here soon.
Hangman he’s a coming.
Appointment at high noon.
Verse
If they ask I want one wish.
Don’t let momma come.
Would drive a nail in her heart;
See them hang her son.
I’ve got only me to blame.
Momma raised me right.
I know that where I’m going.
Won’t be no sunlight.
Pre chorus
Too late for I’m sorry
Too late to repent.
Don’t feel sorry for me.
Lived a life of sin.
Chorus
Hangman he’s a coming.
He’s gonna be here soon.
Hangman he’s a coming.
Appointment at high noon
Bridge
Bad things come to bad people.
We get what we deserve.
Do a favor for me pal.
Promise you’ll keep your word.
Write Ma a letter for me.
Tell her that I loved her.
Verse
I beg you don’t cry for me
It’s a waste of tears.
I’ve been my worst enemy.
I’ve brought trouble here.
Ain’t no amount of rain ;
Washing it away.
Time to face the consequence.
Time for me to pay.
Pre chorus
Too late for I’m sorry
Too late to repent.
Don’t feel sorry for me.
Lived a life of sin.
Chorus
Hangman he’s a coming.
He’s gonna be here soon.
Hangman he’s a coming.
Appointment at high noon.

This has your usual great flow to it, Carroll. It feels western to me, with the "high noon" and "hangman" references. I think I'd get rid of the word "pal." It seems anachronistic, not the kind of word they'd have used in the Wild West. Unless it's supposed to be in more modern times, in which case, the hangman reference seems out of place..
I may or may not be an enigma

Hey Carroll. Nice lyrics. I'd suggest you change "ain't no amount of rain washing it away" to "ain't no amount of rain could wash it away." Thinking from the singer's point of view, it rolls off the tongue more smoothly that "...ing it." I really like the natural rhythm of this song. 🙂

Nice write Carroll, good suggestion from Jen. I see how this could be used in a movie sound track, a western of course. Thank you for sharing, good luck and best wishes,
