Derek Bentley



So they let Derek have it, the whole damned rope.

A policeman was dead and some poor dope must dangle.

Sick, simple, nineteen. A kid without hope,

So they let Derek have it, the whole damned rope.

He never fired a shot, but no concern was paid to that, or any other angle,

So they let Derek have it, the whole damned rope,

A policeman was dead and some poor dope must dangle.
