Hang me, oh hang me, I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me, I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging, just laying in the grave so long
I've been all around this world

On the Blue Ridge Mountain, it's there I'll make my stand (repeat)
Rifle on my shoulder, dagger in my hand
I've been....

Rifle on my shoulder, dagger in my hand (repeat)
I'll shoot her if she runs from me and stab her if she stands.
I've been...

Mama and Papa and little sister makes three (repeat)
They'll march me down to the gallows, that's the last they'll see of me.
I've been...

Lulu, my Lulu, come and open your door (repeat)
Before I have to open it with my old .44
I've been...

and on and on and on...

Peter.
