Well, here I sit high gettin' ideas
Ain't nothin' but a fool would live like this
Out all night and runnin' wild
My woman's sittin' home with a month old child.
Said dang me, dang me
They oughta take rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?
Just sittin' around drinkin' with the rest of guys
Six rounds bought and I bought five
Spent the groceries and a half the rent
I lack fourteen dollars havin' twenty seven cents.
Said dang me, dang me
They oughta take rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?
They say roses are red and violets are purple
Sugar is sweet and so is maple syrup
I'm seventh out of seven sons
I'm happy with a pistol, I'm a son of a gun.
Said dang me, dang me
They oughta take rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?...
