Hang Me
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.
Hang me, oh, hang me, I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh, hang me, I'll be dead and gone
I wouldn't mind the hanging but the laying in the grave so long
Poor boy, I've been all around this world
I 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
Poor boy, I've 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
A rifle on my shoulder and a dagger in my hand
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 and I'll be dead and gone
I 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
The last words I heard them 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
I wouldn't mind the hanging but the laying in the grave so long
Poor boy, I've been all around this world
