He was the hangman's son
Wouldn't crack a smile til' the deal was done
He was the only one
Laughing as he sang that we all shall hang Oh, have mercy
On the demons that curse me
Oh, lay it on me
When my time has come and I don't have the sense to run He was the hangman's son
He said every day's a curse and the curse just gets worse
And now your on the run
You can smell his dirty work 'cause now you wear his shirt
