Hanging Johnny—Shanty Bob Roberts
O they call me Hanging Johnny,Away—ay—i—o,But I never hanged nobody,So—hang—boys—hang
O they say—I hanged me granny,And then me lovesick Annie.
O they say—I hanged me mother,And me sister—and me brother.
O they say—I hang for money,But hanging isn' t funny.
O we'll hang—and haul together,We'll hang for better weather.
O a rope—a beam—a ladder,I'll hang you all together.
