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
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
