VERSE 1
Hang me, O hang me
Then I'll be dead an' gone
Hang me, O hang me
Then I'll be dead an' gone
I would'nt mind th hang'in
But ly'in in th grave so long
God knows, been all around this world
VERSE 2
Upon th Blue Ridge Mountains
I'll make my last stand
Upon th Blue Ridge Mountains
I'll make my last stand
My rifle on my shoulder
My pistol in my head
God knows, been all around this world
VERSE 3
Bring me my dinner, boys
I'll eat 'er done or raw
Bring me my dinner, boys
I'll eat 'er done or raw
I haven't had a square meal
Since I left Arkansas
God knows, been all around this world
VERSE 4
Bring me my dinner, boys
I'll eat 'er on this block
Bring me my dinner, boys
I'll eat it on this block
I haven't had a square meal
Since I left Little Rock
God knows, been all around this world
VERSE 5
Hang me, O hang me
Then I'll be dead an' gone
Hang me, O hang me
Then I'll be dead an' gone
I would'nt mind th hang'in
But ly'in in th grave so long
God knows, been all around this world
