David Thomas Broughton - In Service lyrics

I served for the crown and I served for the law, Now I'm serving the time I am due. I took a man's life under the direction of war, That's not the life I'm serving time for. I k**ed a man as a hangman employed, That's not the innocent life I destroyed. No I brawled under alcohol, I fought with fist and tooth. I cut a figure both frenzied and uncouth. I deeply regret all events that did pa**. I k**ed a man wi' a broken gla**.
