[Spoken]:
Hey Mr. Hangman give it to me!
Hey cut me down now!
Hey there Mr. Hangman
Cut these ropes 'a swingin'
Come back, I hear you sayin'
"You know I love you but you ain't worth the trouble."
My girl I know you're leavin'
Don't leave me on my own
Come back, I hear you sayin'
"You know I love you but you ain't worth the trouble."
[Chorus]
The hangman says he's seen my sign
He says that it's past my time
The punishment don't fit no crime
Mr. Hangman aren't you over the line?
[Spoken]: Hey Mr. Hangman give it to me!
Help me, nobody's there
Your game, you don't play it fair
I know that you don't care
"You know I love you but you ain't worth the trouble."
No!
Can't you see the clothes I wear
I can't go anywhere
I know that you don't care
"You know that I love you but you ain't worth the trouble."
[Chorus]
The hangman says he's seen my sign
He says that it's past my time
The punishment don't fit no crime
Mr. Hangman aren't you over the line?
Cut me down, Mr. Hangman
Cut me down, Mr. Hangman
Cut me down, Mr. Hangman
Cut me down, Mr. Hangman
Cut me down, Mr. Hangman!
Cut me down, Mr. Hangman!
Cut me down, Mr. Hangman, yeah!
