Lyrics

Well Iโ€™m hanging from this bloody tree - 40 days a rotting โ€˜Cause I let the judge get hold of me - 40 days a rotting Did I do it never mind, thatโ€™s not the point Iโ€™m trying to find Donโ€™t ask me if Iโ€™m free of crime, canโ€™t you see me swing Living as a highway man - 40 days a rotting Earning anyway I can - 40 days a rotting Robbing mostly sometimes death Iโ€™ll take their money or Iโ€™ll have their breath On the kingโ€™s highway I ride, sword and pistol by my side 40 days a rotting - I donโ€™t look so good 40 days a rotting - dangling from this wood As the crows pick out my eyes - 40 days a rotting Pray spare a thought as you go by - 40 days a rotting As the weather rots my bones Iโ€™ll swing from this tree alone Donโ€™t you dare feel pity for me 40 days a rotting - I donโ€™t look so good Well Iโ€™m swinging from this bastard gib - 40 days a rotting I wouldnโ€™t change the way I lived - 40 days a rotting It was a jolly live I led Iโ€™ll sleep happy now Iโ€™m dead Wish I could have carried on but donโ€™t forget this song 40 days a rotting
