Lyrics Hang 'em High - Pop. 1280

Hang 'em High

They shouted out «Hang 'em high!
Hang 'em high until he dies!»
See their heads roll back in their eyes
As they feel that tickle between their thighs
Look at that fool, meet his demise
Like the sun will set and the tides will rise
Something died between his thighs
So he had to reach a compromise
He felt dumb, but he had to try
One last thing before he died
He told his family one last lie
Then he shipped on out without waving goodbye
They looked far and they looked wide
They followed the sound of his sinful cries
He might’ve been right, but it wasn’t wise
To rub one out in a priest’s disguise
The natives' torches shine in their eyes
A hangman’s noose a hangman ties
They shouted out «Hang 'em high!
Hang 'em high until he dies!»
