Hangman Swing
There ain't no judge, no jury down around El Paso
Hangman posse blazing my trail before I get to Mexico
Thirteen guns were tracking, 'side the Rio Grande they rode
About a debt I owe, yeah!
Through the heat of the desert sun underneath a blackbird's wing
I keeping one step ahead of the gun
Or I'll be stretching my neck in a noose
Doing the hangman swing
Sheriff wants to lynch me for what I did to his wife
Well how was I to know it was her, but it damn sure was nice
Now they want to see me dancing on the end of a rope
About a debt I owe, yeah!
Through the heat of the desert sun underneath a blackbird's wing
I keeping one step ahead of the gun
Or I'll be stretching my neck in a noose
Doing the hangman swing
Hangman swing (hangman swing)
It's hangman swing, swing, swing
Hangman swing (hangman swing)
C'mon, swing boys, yeah!
Found me about a half day's ride from the border of Mexico
Put a bullet 'twixt my blades and my neck in a rope
Through the heat of the desert sun underneath a blackbird's wing
I keeping one step ahead of the gun
Or I'll be stretching my neck in a noose
Doing the hangman swing
Yeah, the hangman swing (hangman swing)
It's hangman swing, swing, swing
Hangman swing (hangman swing)
Yeah, the hangman swing (hangman swing)
It's the hangman swing (hangman swing)
Yeah, the hangman swing (hangman swing)
Well the hangman swing (hangman swing)
Hangman posse blazing my trail before I get to Mexico
Thirteen guns were tracking, 'side the Rio Grande they rode
About a debt I owe, yeah!
Through the heat of the desert sun underneath a blackbird's wing
I keeping one step ahead of the gun
Or I'll be stretching my neck in a noose
Doing the hangman swing
Sheriff wants to lynch me for what I did to his wife
Well how was I to know it was her, but it damn sure was nice
Now they want to see me dancing on the end of a rope
About a debt I owe, yeah!
Through the heat of the desert sun underneath a blackbird's wing
I keeping one step ahead of the gun
Or I'll be stretching my neck in a noose
Doing the hangman swing
Hangman swing (hangman swing)
It's hangman swing, swing, swing
Hangman swing (hangman swing)
C'mon, swing boys, yeah!
Found me about a half day's ride from the border of Mexico
Put a bullet 'twixt my blades and my neck in a rope
Through the heat of the desert sun underneath a blackbird's wing
I keeping one step ahead of the gun
Or I'll be stretching my neck in a noose
Doing the hangman swing
Yeah, the hangman swing (hangman swing)
It's hangman swing, swing, swing
Hangman swing (hangman swing)
Yeah, the hangman swing (hangman swing)
It's the hangman swing (hangman swing)
Yeah, the hangman swing (hangman swing)
Well the hangman swing (hangman swing)
