Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hooray x3 They're Hanging Father
Does anybody know this song?

As far as I remember the words go as follows:

Hooray, hooray My father's gonna be hung Hooray, hooray, the dirty rotten bum He was very cruel to me when I was very young Hooray, hooray hooray they're hanging father

Other members of the singers family get shot, hurt etc. I heard it sung a few times back in the sixties (I think)

Thank you in advance for your help

Joe
