[Intro] [Chorus] Hang me oh hang me and I’ll be dead and gone. Hang me oh hang meand I’ll be dead and gone. I wouldn’t mind the hanging it’s laying in this grave so long Poor boy I’ve been all around this world. [Instrumental] [Verse] I been all around Cape Girardeau parts of Arkansas I been 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. [Instrumental] [Verse] So I went up on the mountain there to made my stand I went up on the mountain there to made my stand A rifle on my shouldera dagger swinging in my hand Poor boy I’ve been all around this world. [Instrumental] [Chorus] 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 it’s laying in this grave so long Poor boy I’ve been all around this world. [Instrumental] [Verse] So put the rope around my neck hang me up so high He put the rope around my neck and hung me up so high Last words I heard them say was: "It won’t be long before you die" Poor boy I’ve been all around this world. [Instrumental] [Chorus] Hang me oh hang me and 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 to lay in this grave so long Poor boy I’ve been all around this world. [Outro]
