The Sound of Laughter Lyrics

So I stood there in the shadows
And I had my .44
I could hear her mocking laughter
But she won't laugh anymore
Now I'm down here in the gaolhouse
And I know what brought me here
It was the Sound of Laughter
Ringing in my Ears

Well I guess I should have left this town
And her far behind
For the way that she made fun of me
Keeps running through my mind
Well the jury showed no mercy
And I never asked for none
Cause I know I've got it coming
I'm not proud of what I've done

But down here in this darkness
More and more I seem to hear
The sound of laughter
Ringing in my ears
I hear the Sound of Laughter
Ringing in my Ear
