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 hanging |
| But the laying in the grave so long |
| Poor boy |
| I’ve been all around this world |
| I’ve 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 |
| I’ve been all around this world |
| Went up on a mountain |
| There I made my stand |
| Went up on a mountain |
| There I made my stand |
| Rifle on my shoulder |
| And 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 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 |
| Last words I heard him 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 |
| Wouldn’t mind the hanging |
| But the laying in the grave so long |
| Poor boy |
| I’ve been all around this world |
