Hang me - I’ve been all around this world
Up on the blue ridge mountains
There I’ll take my stand
Up on the blue ridge mountains
There I’ll take my stand
Whisky in the bottle pistols in my hand
I’ve been all around this world
Chorus:
Hang me oh Hang me
I’ll be dead and gone
Hang me oh Hang me
I’ll be dead and gone
It’s not the hangin that I mind
It’s waiting in the jail so long
It’s layin in the grave so long
Lulu oh Lulu, open up that door
Lulu oh lulu open up that door
Before I have to walk in with my old 'forty-four'.
I’ve been all around this world
Hang Me
Federal oh federal, federal won’t catch me.
Federal oh federal, federal won’t catch me
I’ll be hidin out behind the old oak tree.
I’ve been all around this world
Hang Me
Up on the blue ridge mountains
There I’ll take my stand
Up on the blue ridge mountains
There I’ll take my stand
Whisky in the bottle pistols in my hand
I’ve been all around this world
