Hang Me Oh Hang Me Lyrics

Hang me oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
Hang me oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging
But the laying in the grave so long
Poor boy
I've been all around this world

I've 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
I've been all around this world

Went up on a mountain
There I made my stand
Went up on a mountain
There I made my stand
Rifle on my shoulder
And a dagger in my hand
Poor boy
I've been all around this world

Hang me oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
Hang me oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
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
Last words I heard him 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
Wouldn't mind the hanging
But the laying in the grave so long
Poor boy
I've been all around this world
