Hang Me, Oh Hang Me
Hang me, oh hang me
And I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me
And I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging
But the layin' in a grave so long, poor boy
I've been all around this world
I've been all around cape Girardeau
And parts of Arkansas
All around cape Girardeau
And parts of Arkansas
Got so damn hungry
I could hide behind a straw, poor boy
I've been all around this world
I went up on a mountain
And there I made my stand
I went up on a mountain
And there I made my stand
Rifle on my shoulder
And a dagger in my hand, poor boy
I been all around this world
So they put the rope around my neck
And hung me up so high
Put a rope around my neck
And hung me up so high
Last thing I heard 'em say
"Won't be long now 'fore you die, poor boy"
I've been all around this world
Hang me, oh hang me
And I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me
And I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging
But the layin' in the grave so long, poor boy
I been all around this world
I been all around this world
And I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me
And I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging
But the layin' in a grave so long, poor boy
I've been all around this world
I've been all around cape Girardeau
And parts of Arkansas
All around cape Girardeau
And parts of Arkansas
Got so damn hungry
I could hide behind a straw, poor boy
I've been all around this world
I went up on a mountain
And there I made my stand
I went up on a mountain
And there I made my stand
Rifle on my shoulder
And a dagger in my hand, poor boy
I been all around this world
So they put the rope around my neck
And hung me up so high
Put a rope around my neck
And hung me up so high
Last thing I heard 'em say
"Won't be long now 'fore you die, poor boy"
I've been all around this world
Hang me, oh hang me
And I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me
And I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging
But the layin' in the grave so long, poor boy
I been all around this world
I been all around this world
