Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
Poor boy
I've been all around this world
[Verse 3]
Went up on the mountain
There I made my stand
Went up on the 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
[Verse 4]
Hang me, oh hang me
And I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me
And 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
