about

Traditional folk song.

lyrics

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
It's laying in the grave that's long
Poor boy, I've been all around this world

I've been around Cape Girardeau
Parts of Arkansas
I've been around Cape Girardeau
Parts of Arkansas
I got so god damn hungry
I could hide behind a straw
Poor boy, I've been all around this world

I went up on a mountain
There I made my stand
I went up on a mountain
There I made my stand
With a rifle on my shoulder
And a dagger in my hand
Poor boy, I've been all around this world

Put the rope around my neck
They hung me up so high
Put the rope around my neck
They hung me up so high
The last word I heard 'em say:
"Won't be long before you die, poor boy"
I've been all around this world
