Hanged Man

The moon was shining through the trees and the wind was whistling low
The moon was shining through the trees and the wind was whistling low
I came upon a fork in the road, I didn't know which way to go

I hit a grave stone with my knee and I fell upon the ground
I hit a grave stone with my knee and I fell upon the ground
There was someone swaying in the breeze but it did not make a sound
Don't look at the hanged man
Don't look at the hanged man
Don't look at the hanged man

A gypsy woman read my cards and she took my twenty bucks
A gypsy woman read my cards and she took my twenty bucks
She said if you ain't got no future girl, no your future's all used up
Don't look at the hanged man
Don't look at the hanged man
Don't look at the hanged man

I left his body in the woods and I took off running south
I left his body in the woods and I took off running south
They found me down in Eagle Pass with a pistol in my mouth
Don't look at the hanged man
Don't look at the hanged man
Don't look at the hanged man
Don't look at the hanged man
