Hang Me, Oh Hang Me - The Secret Sisters, Oscar Isaac, Punch Brothers

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 layin' in a grave so long, poor boy

I been all around this world

I been all 'round Cape Girardeau

Parts of Arkansas

All around Cape Girardeau

Parts of Arkansas

Got so god damn hungry

I could hide behind a straw, poor boy

I 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 been all around this world

So hang me, oh hang me

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 the layin' in the grave so long, poor boy

I been all around this world

Put the rope around my neck

And hung me up so high

Put the rope around my neck

Hung me up so high

Last words I heard 'em say

Won’t be long now 'fore you die, poor boy

I been all around this world

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

But the layin' in a grave so long, poor boy

I been all around this world
