Well, here I sit high, gettin' ideas
Ain't nothin' but a fool would live like this
Out all night and runnin' wild
Woman's sittin' home with a month old child
Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope ‘n hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?
One more
Just sittin' 'round drinkin' with the rest of the guys
Six rounds bought and I bought five
I spent the groceries and a half the rent
I lack fourteen dollars, havin' twenty seven cents
Oh, dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope ‘n hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?
One more
They say roses are red and violets are purple
And sugar's sweet and so is maple syrple
And, I'm seventh out of seven sons
My pappy was a pistol; I'm a son of a gun
I said, dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope ‘n hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?
