Goddamn that drunken hangman He gets respect Townsfolk love the hangman For breaking necks Drink all day in the tavern Before the gallows pole Outside the crowd has gathered Waiting for the show When you hang (x2) Goddamn that drunken hangman Is getting wrecked He gives the cheering village What they expect Sundown the church bells ringing As they cut him down Him you can hear the hangman singing All over town When you hang (x2) When you hang (x2)
