Hang Me, Oh Hang me, and I'll Be dead and gone

Hang Me, Oh Hang me

I'll be dead and gone..

wouldn't mind the hangin..

but the layin in the grave so long

poor boy...

i been all around this world

I been all around cape girardeau.. parts of Arkansas

all around cape girardeau.. parts of Arkansas

got so god damn hungry...

I could hide behind a straw..

poor boy..

I been all around this world

went up on the mountain..

there i made my stand

went up on the mountain...

there i made my stand

rifle on my shoulder..

and a dagger in my hand

poor boy..

i been all around this world

Hang Me, Oh Hang me...

I'll be dead and gone..

Hang Me, Oh Hang me...

I'll be dead and gone..

wouldn't mind the hangin..

but the layin in the grave so long, poor boy...

i been all around this world

put the rope around my neck..

hung me up so high

put the rope around my neck...

hung me up so high

last words i heard em say..

won't be long now for you die

poor boy..

i been all around this world

Hang Me, Oh Hang me, and I'll Be dead and gone

Hang Me, Oh Hang me...

I'll be dead and gone..

wouldn't mind the hangin..

but the layin in the grave so long poor boy

i been all around this world
