Hang 'Em High
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wait until it fades to black
Ride into the sunset
Would I lie to you?
Well, I've got something to say
Grab your six-gun from your back
Throttle the ignition
Would I die for you?
Well here's your answer in spades
Shotgun sinners
Wild eyed jokers
Got you in my sights
Gun it while I'm holding on
After all is said and done
Climb out from the pine box
Well I'm asking you
'Cause she's got nothing to say
The angels just cut out her tongue
Call her black mariah
Would I lie to you?
That girl's not right in the brain
Mass convulsions
Strike the choir
By the grace of God
Gun it while I'm holding on
But don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh, baby, don't stop
Bury me and fade to black
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So baby
Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh, baby, don't stop
Bury me and fade to black
Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh, baby, don't stop
Bury me and fade to black
