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 laying in the grave so long... poor boy...
I've been all around this world.
I been all around 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've been all around this world.
Went up on the mountain... there I made my stand
went up on the mountain... there I made my stand
Rifle on my shoulder... and a dagger in my hand... poor boy...
I've been all around this world.
Hang me, Oh hang me, I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, Oh hang me, and I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging... but the laying in the grave so long... poor boy...
I've been all around this world.
Put the rope around my neck... hung me up so high
Put the rope around my neck... hung me up so high
Last words I heard them say... won't be long now before you die...poor boy...
I've been all around this world.
Hang me, Oh hang me, and I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, Oh hang me, I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging... but the laying in the grave so long... poor boy...
I've been all around this world.
绞死我，噢，绞死我，我将不久于人世
绞死我，噢，绞死我，我将不久于人世
我不介意绞刑，但要长眠于坟墓中
可怜的人，我在已在世间游走四方
去过Cape Girardeau，和部分Arkansas州
在Cape Girardeau和Arkansas州内流浪
天哪，真是饿得要死，一根稻草就可将我遮盖
可怜的人，我已在世间游走四方
爬上高山，我在那里驻足
爬上高山，我在那里驻足
肩上扛着步枪，手里握着短剑
可怜的人，我已在世间游走四方
绞索套上我的脖子，将我高高吊起
绞索套上我的脖子，将我高高吊起
听见他们说的最后的话是：撑不了不久你就会死去
可怜的人，我已在世间游走四方
绞死我，噢，绞死我，我将不久于人世
绞死我，噢，绞死我，我将不久于人世
我不介意绞刑，但要长眠于坟墓中
可怜的人，我在已在世间游走四方
