Hang Me High

It was cold late november

The witching hour near

The wind howled through the gallows tree

No one shed a tear

I felt the rope around my neck

A man the world forgot

I knew right then what i had to do

So i said goodbye to god

I slept in transylvania

Walked with the undead

Rode the night with jesse james

Reveled in my sins

I hung with no signs of life

Yet i still i lived

To hell with dyin with regrets

The grave it don't forgive

Chorus:

Look to the west

Cross my heart and die

Remember who i am oh lord

When they hang me high

Hang me high

There's only one chance in this life

To do or die is all

A thousand ways i might go

One's just as good as them all

I dredged up my heartbeat

Stole one more breath

Cut the rope around my throat

Now i cheated death
