Hang Me, Oh Hang Me, and I’ll be dead and gone.
Hang Me, Oh Hang Me, and I’ll be dead and gone
It’s not the hanging that I mind, it’s laying in jail so long
Oh Lord, I’ve been all around this world.
Lulu, Oh Lulu, come and open up that door
Lulu, Oh Lulu, come and open up that door
Before I have to open it, with my old fourty four
Oh Lord, I’ve been all around this world.
Chorus:
Going up on the mountain, there I’ll take my stand
Going up on the mountain, there I’ll take my stand
Pistol in my pocket, and a rifle in my hand
Oh Lord, I’ve been all around this world.
Chorus:
Mama and Papa, and little sister makes three
Mama and Papa, and little sister makes three
You know they’ve come to see me,
hanging from the gallows tree
Oh Lord I’ve been all around this world.
Chorus:
Working on that new railroad, with mud up to my knees
Working on that new railroad, with mud up to my knees
Working for big John Henry, and he’s so hard to please
Oh Lord I’ve been all around this world.
Chorus:
Akkorde
2/4 in D
