Murder By Death - Three Men Hanging Lyrics






Get on with it put off the fuss you chickenshit get on with it can't you see its time to quit I seen three men hangin' from a sycamore their bodies were stiff as a two by four and their heads were tilted down towards the ground and it ain't been long since they been up there that their bodies turned cold hangin' in that air and they might have froze before that noose got to them old scratch has dealt us a dirty hand he had the look of a saint but the greed of a man and his face was worn and wrinkled like a leather book and if i put this revolver to my head will god turn against me instead of taking pity on a broken man? get on with it.

    మరి ప్రణయ్ ని చంపించిన మారుతిరావు సంగతి ఏమిటి

  2. D.... M....

    I got a buddy who used to live in Bloomington Indiana and used to watch them play in their basement. When he told me that I assumed he was friends with them but not so, they just opened their house up to anybody that wanted to come see them play and they blew the roof of the place every time

  3. L.... ....

    Kinda reminds me of Harry Chapin.

  4. B.... B....

    Great Music ! Thank You

  5. B.... B....

    Why is the Cello Player so tightly strung ? Maybe the gum ...

  6. B.... G....

    Is this band still around. 🙌 saw them years ago

  7. A.... o....

    red dead 2 feels

  8. A.... o....

    anyone here because of randytaylor69?

  9. M.... ....

    john cash'ın yan çarı

    M.... ....

    :D aynen

  10. H.... A....

    He has one of the best voices I've ever heard

  11. c.... r....

    Underrated.

  12. R.... ....

    What kind of idiot downvotes this?

  13. R.... S....

    Mics are a bit too hot. Great song though

  14. S.... V....

    Come play with us! Today’s music theme is “Three” https://www.facebook.com/groups/SupercordsMusicClub/

  15. B.... C....

    man sounds like the second coming of Johnny cash in this song.

  16. S.... B....

    why does she convey 0 emotion? is she a sociopath?

    S.... B....

    It's called concentration, lol. Bowed instruments are a lot harder to play than a guitar, imo. :P

    S.... B....

    Gorilla Dick Daddy shes just like that while playing. Very sweet and outgoing when she isnt focusing on her insanely beautiful cello playing. Met her before, she spoke first lol

  17. c.... w....

    it seems I am late to the party, I am just now discovering this song.
    They are simply phenomenal.

    c.... w....

    Been a fan of these guys since 2005 or 2006. Seen them live a few times over the years. Every new album they release, I fucking hate them for like a month. It's too different! WHY? It's not even MBD! But then another month goes by and I'm listening to the album every day. Especially the case with Good Morning, Magpie. MBD is so unlike everything else I listen to these days. Crazy how much they have shifted over the years. I love that they're just doing their thing and aren't particularly concerned with making platinum record sales or something. All their music is so authentic, and unique from pretty much everything else. You almost have to give MBD it's own genre. After all these years, this is still absolutely my favorite song.

    c.... w....

    Check out this whole album. Imo opinion it's their best. And the lyrical content/concept of the whole album paints such an amazing story.

    c.... w....

    AbsolemLNG brilliantly said. Ditto.

  18. P.... ....

    how does he fit such a large voice into such a small body

    P.... ....

    PunchKickLipstick practice. He used to sound more nasally live years ago

    P.... ....

    Adam is like 6'1'' man.

    P.... ....

    He is not 6’1 lol

    P.... ....

    @Kevin Coulter I'm pretty small, 5'6, 7 on a good day and when I met Adam, he was probably 3 or 4 inches taller than me tops.

  19. M.... S....

    i have to say, i miss the old voice

    M.... S....

    +Mitch Strand Are you talking about Little Joe Gould , that old ?

    M.... S....

    +Richard James Not that old, he didn't change his singing until In Bocca al Lupo. Though I have to admit I love the change, as Adam once said "one day you're not 20 anymore".

    M.... S....

    I saw them in Lawrence ,Ks in 04 , and at the Stanley Hotel on 1/2/15 . Think you are right , after Who Will Survive voice started changing Little Joe Gould EP is still my favorite .

    M.... S....

    Last time I saw them was a year ago and they played Killbot and he rocked the shit out of it.

  20. T.... 3....

    Is there anywhere the audio from this can be downloaded I liked the album version but this version is so much better

    T.... 3....

    @matthew knowles convert2mp3.net

    T.... 3....

    I agree

  21. h.... ....

    Wow this is really a mess.

    h.... ....

    How so?

  22. R.... ....

    I love how his voice cracks at 2:01

  23. C.... B....

    I've never actually seen him before... He doesn't match that voice.

    Regardless, I love this song!

    C.... B....

    They put on such a good show. My wife and I saw them a couple of years ago at George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville Arkansas.

  24. T.... K....

    crazy lyrics, this man is brilliant, the imagery is amazing

    T.... K....

    +Tasha Kuchar I have to say this is my favorite song.

  25. A.... ....

    Wow. Guy sounds like an 80 year old Cash or Ralph Stanely.

  26. C.... ....

    "And If I put this revolver to my head, will God turn against me instead of- taking pity on a broken man?" What a fucking lyricist!

  27. R.... D....

    I've been looking for these 3 videos for weeks, I fucking love Adam and Sarah

  28. J.... H....

    One of my most favorite bands ever. Any fan needs to see them live. They are fantastic, and great people to boot!

  29. J.... H....

    I have seen them live several times - most recently last Sunday, and I already cannot wait to see them again! They are fantastic. I only wish I had been invited to the wedding they played the night before. I also wish I had thought to ask them to play my own wedding!

  30. P.... ....

    But of course! E standard. Flatted G (tune the G string to Gb) Couldn't hear over the cello so well at first but..yeah, definitely just a flatted G. :) Sorry this is 7 months late!

  31. P.... ....

    The pitch of one's voice is dependent upon the larynx and the length of the vocal chords, as well as your breathing efficiency. I can tell you he does not force it..still has a high range too. The deep tenor also has to do with a relaxed larynx/vocal chords. I'm sure bourbon helps haha I agree, any fan should see them live

  32. C.... ....

    check out the live performance of those who left from hellfest....he looks more like he sounded

  33. s.... ....

    seeing them live was the best thing that every happen to me XD seriously though they put on a HELL of a live show and they like small venues which is PERFECT! Saw that at The Grog Shop in Cleveland,Oh best show ive seen point.blank.period.

  34. d.... ....

    correct

  35. d.... ....

    happens to everyone.

  36. S.... A....

    Another good one from Gutterth's Channel. Thanks

  37. S.... ....

    absolutely in love with this song!!! ty for upload

  38. A.... M....

    the Modern day Johnny Cash!

  39. F.... O....

    Is it me or does he sound like Johnny Cash?

  40. v.... ....

    For a skinny guy, he can sure belt out some strong notes. You must see them live to get the full effect.

  41. A.... A....

    THEY ARE AMAZING LIVE

  42. T.... X....

    Cool! Thanks for the info :)

  43. s.... ....

    does anybody know what tuning the guitar is set to?

  44. s.... ....

    I love this album. Its from Who will survive, and what will be left of them (i think). Thats the only album that I am aware of that this song is on. Hope that is at all helpful to you

  45. T.... X....

    I want to buy this song. but it's not on amazon. :( anyone know if there is an album coming up that might have this?

  46. P.... ....

    It's that face that tells you she is listening to the music so well, she's so into what they're doing, that she doesn't have time to concentrate on physical expressions. That's not an upset face, that is what an expressionless face looks like, when you're so deep into yourself and the music you don't notice what your face is doing.

  47. G.... M....

    pretty good, im going to keep listeni- HOLY SHIT! dat voice

  48. E.... ....

    Thank you for uploading these! Amazing!

  49. C.... O....

    LOL i just discovered MBD about a week ago. This is the first live video Ive seen. That is NOT what I thought that guy, with that deep voice, looked like.

  50. L.... ....

    I didn't mean that at all, but you see it that way because of some misplaced view of women being less than men. What I said was a compliment to her but everyone throws a fit because of their pride

  51. S.... S....

    I play the double bass, and in all the photos I appear playing it, I have a face like this woman's. But that's because I'm like that, I'm a serious person and I don't need any man to be happy, it has nothing to do with it. I'm extremely happy when I play the bass indeed. Sometimes expressions say something, sometimes not.

  52. i.... ....

    Yeah, because what every woman really needs is a man. /sarcasm

  53. t.... ....

    i had the great fortune to hang out with these folks over a couple of nights this week on tour, and i can assure you, she loves what she's doing with her life, as do they all.

  54. L.... ....

    Hence the sadness

    L.... ....

    She's married to him...




    Pretty sure anyway

  55. L.... ....

    My guess is that she hasn't found a man half worthy enough to take her

  56. j.... b....

    these guys r a true discovery,ironically this was filmed in denton texas,home of the brilliant lift to experience,& midlake.

  57. b.... ....

    I think this is better than the album version. In this Adams voice is lower, witch sounds better. By the way, how do you do that?

  58. C.... O....

    Yes, I'm well aware of the origin of their name... thank you for pointing that out (and your opinion of the movie(and the cast)). The only reason I said what I did was because people look at me like I have two heads when I tell them the name. It sounds like it belongs to some kind of putrid death metal or emo band.

  59. m.... ....

    They're named after a (brilliant) movie. Peter Sellers, Alec Guinness, Truman Capote, Peter Falk, David Nivin.... Just go watch the damned thing and then tell me that it's not a good name for them.

  60. J.... C....

    LOL right? I tell people what my favourite band is, and they give me the weirdest looks.

  61. M.... H....

    candles

  62. A.... N....

    What a beautiful song.

  63. t.... ....

    Outstanding!

  64. S.... M....

    I really like this version... It perfectly fits to my bad mood tonight this song is like "Do something with yourself man!" They should make acoustic album with songs like this one.

  65. C.... O....

    Awesome song/band....not so awesome band name.

  66. Y.... ....

    I'm in love with Adam Turla's voice.

  67. f.... ....

    Brilliant song, brilliant band

  68. b.... ....

    Your my life saver at this point in time. Thanks

  69. w.... ....

    You guys f'in rock!

  70. R.... ....

    Absolutely awesome.
