Lyrics
Hang me, oh hang me until I'm dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me until I'm dead and gone
I don't mind your hanging me
It's laying in the grave so long
Lord knows I've been all around this world
My pappy was a gambler and he taught me how to play
My pappy was a gambler and he taught me how to play
Said "Son, don't you never go a-begging
When you hold the ace in the tray."
Lord knows I've been all around this world
Went up on Greenwood Mountain there to take my stand
Went up on Greenwood Mountain and there I took my stand
Rifle over my shoulder and a six-gun in my hand
Lord knows I've been all around this world
They put that rope around my neck
And hung me very high
They put that rope around my neck
And they hung me very high
The very last words I heard them say
Was "It won't be long till you die."
Poor boy, he's been all around this world
