Jarle Skavhellen - Hang Me, Oh Hang Me

Hang me, oh hand 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 layin' in a grave so long, poor boy
I been all around this world

I been all 'round cape Giradeau
And parts of Arkansas
All around cape Giradeau
And parts of Arkansas
Got so damn hungry
I could hide behind a straw, poor boy
I been all around this world

I went up on a mountain
And there I made my stand
I went up on a mountain
And there I made my stand
Rifle on my shoulder
And a dagger in my hand, poor boy
I been all around this world

So they put the rope around my neck
And hung me up so high
Put a rope around my neck
And hung me up so high
Last thing I heard 'em say
Won't be long now for you die, poor boy
I been all around this world

Hang me, oh hang men
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 layin' in the grave so long, poor boy
I been all around this world
I been all around this world
