Hang Me, Oh Hang Me

歌詞

Hang me, oh, hang me, I'll be dead and gone. Hang me, oh, hang me, I'll be dead and gone. I wouldn't mind the hanging but the laying in the grave so long Poor boy, I've been all around this world. I been all around Cape Girardeau, parts of Arkansas All around Cape Girardeau, parts of Arkansas Got so goddamn hungry I could hide behind a straw Poor boy, I've 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 A rifle on my shoulder and a dagger in my hand 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. I wouldn't mind the hanging but the laying in the grave so long Poor boy, I've 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 The last words I heard them 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, I'll be dead and gone. I wouldn't mind the hanging but the laying in the grave so long Poor boy, I've been all around this world.
