Well here I sit high
And gettin' ideas
Ain't nothin' but a fool
would live like this
Out all night and runnin' wild
Woman sittin' home
with a month old child
Well dang me dang me
They ought to take a rope
and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would
you weep for me
Just sittin 'round drinkin'
with the rest of the guys
Six rounds bought
And I bought five
Spent the groceries
And half of the rent
I got fourteen dollars
And twenty-seven cents
Well dang me dang me
They ought to take a rope
and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would
you weep for me
They say roses are red
And violets are purple
And sugar is sweet
And so's maple syrup
And I'm the seventh out
of seven sons
My pappy was a pistol
I'm a son of a gun
I said dang me dang me
They ought to take a rope
and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would
you weep for me
