Lyrics
Hangman
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.
Hangman take these heads from me
And swing 'em from your money tree
Hear me laughing in my steps
These heads are yours, they're yours to keep
Please don't skip the last details
Rewards are yours beyond the pale
And if you slip, just look around
Your wrists are shackled to the crowd
Hangman is your passenger
Hangman is your passenger
Hangman is your passenger
The hangman is your passenger tonight
Stretching the rope with one of his hands
And in one of his hands he holds a bible
Looks at the road with one of his eyes
And with one of his eyes he will watch you driving
Hangman is your passenger
The hangman is your passenger tonight
Hangman take these heads from me
And swing 'em from your money tree
Wagered on the judgement call
But every time you lost it all
