Well, here I sit high, gettin' ideas

Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this

Out all night and runnin' wild

Woman sittin' home with a month-old child

Dang me, dang me

They oughta take a rope and hang me

High from the highest tree

Woman, would you weep for me?

Just sittin' around drinkin' with the rest of the guys

Six rounds bought, and I bought five

And I spent the groceries and half the rent

Like fourteen dollars and twenty-seven cents

Dang me, dang me

They oughta take a rope and hang me

High from the highest tree

Woman, would you weep for me?

Roses are red and violets are purple

Sugar is sweet and so is maple surple

Well I'm the seventh out of seven sons

My pappy's a pistol, I'm a son-of-a-gun

Well, dang me, dang me

They oughta take a rope and hang me

High from the highest tree

Woman, would you weep for me?
