Hang Me, Oh Hang Me (Album Version) - Dave Van Ronk

Written by：Traditional

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

I been all around cape girardeau parts of arkansas

All around cape girardeau parts of arkansas

Got so godd**n hungry I could hide behind a straw

Poor boy I've been all around this world

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

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

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 them say won't be long

Now 'fore you die

Poor boy I've been all around this world

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
