Hang Me, Oh Hang Me
I haven't actually seen the movie Inside Llewyn Davis (which kind of gave this song a big boost in popularity) but I know this one from listening to Dave van Ronk's Folksinger album. One of those beautiful old songs written by that genius, Anonymous. Hope you enjoy my version, and we'll see you next Sunday!

Hang Me, Oh Hang Me lyrics
Hang me, oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging
But the layin' in a grave so long, poor boy
I been all around this world
I been all 'round cape Gigardeau
Parts of Arkansas
All around cape Giradeau
Parts of Arkansas
Got so god damn hungry
I could hide behind a straw, poor boy
I been all around this world
Went up on a mountain
There i made my stand
Went up on a mountain
There i made my stand
Rifle on my shoulder
And a dagger in my hand, poor boy
I been all around this world
So hang me, oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me
And i'll be dead and gone
I wouldn't mind the hanging
But the layin' in a grave so long, poor boy
I been all around this world
Put the noose around my neck
And hung me up so high
Put the noose around my neck
Hung me up so high
Last words i heard 'em say
Won't be long now for you die, poor boy
I been all around this world
