Hang Me, Oh Hang Me

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 laying in the grave so long
poor boy and I've been all around this world.

Been all around cape Jordan, and parts of Arkansas,
been around cape Jordan, parts of Arkansas.
Got so god damn hungry, I could hide behind a straw,
poor boy I've been all around the 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, with a dagger in my hand,
poor boy I've 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 laying in the grave so long,
poor boy and I've been all around this world.

Put the rope around my neck and hung me up so high,
put the rope around my neck and hung me up so high.
Last words I heard him say, won't be long before you die,
poor boy I've been all round this world.

Hang me oh hang me, I'll be dead and gone,
hang me oh hang me, I'll be dead and gone.
