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 I wouldn’t mind the hanging it’s just the laying in the grave so long Poor boy, I’ve been all around this world I’ve been all around Cape Jerdo and parts of Arkansas All around Cape Jerdo and parts of Arkansas I got so Goddamn hungry, I could hide behind a straw Poor boy, I’ve been all around this world I went up on a mountain, there I made my stand I went up on a mountain, there I made my stand Rifle on my shoulder and the dagger in my hand Poor boy, I’ve been all around this world So put the rope around my neck, hang me up so high Put the rope around my neck, they hanged me up so high The last words I heard them say it won’t be long now before you die Poor boy, I’ve been all around this world
