Hang Me, Oh Hang Me LyricsHang 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 layin' in a grave so long, poor boy
I been all around this world
I been all 'round Cape Girardeau
Parts of Arkansas
All around Cape Girardeau
Parts of Arkansas
Got so god damn hungry
I could hide behind a straw, poor boy
I 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 been all around this world
So hang me, oh hang me
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 layin' in the grave so long, poor boy
I been all around this world
Put the rope around my neck
And hung me up so high
Put the rope around my neck
Hung me up so high
Last words I heard 'em say
Won't be long now 'fore you die, poor boy
I been all around this world
So 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 layin' in a grave so long, poor boy
I been all around this world
