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
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
I've 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'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 him 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 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
