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 Gigardeau Parts of Arkansas. All around cape Giradeau 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 a 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 for 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, poor boy I been all around this world.
