Well, here I sit high, gettin' ideas Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this Out all night and runnin' wild Woman sittin' home with a month old child Dang me, dang me They oughta take a rope and hang me High from the highest tree Woman, would you weep for me? Just sittin' 'round drinkin' with the rest of the guys Six rounds bought and I bought five Spent the half the groceries and all the rent Like fourteen dollars having twenty seven cents Dang me, dang me They oughta take a rope and hang me High from the highest tree Woman, would you weep for me?
I say roses are red and violets are purple Sugar is sweet and so is maple surple I was the 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 and hang me High from the highest tree Woman, would you weep for me? Well, here I sit high, gettin' ideas Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this Out all night and runnin' wild Woman sittin' home with a month old child Dang me, dang me They oughta take a rope and hang me High from the highest tree Woman, would you weep for me?
