Tallest Man On Earth, The - Hang Me Lyrics






Hang me oh hang me and I'll be dead and gone.
Hang me oh hang me, and I'll be dead and gone.
I wouldn't mind the hangin', just laying in this grave so long.
Poor boy I've been all around the world.

Been all round cape Jordan, and parts of Arkansas,
been around cape Jordan and parts of Arkansas.
I got so god damn hungry, I could hide behind a straw.
Poor boy I've been all around the world.

So I went up on the mountain, there I made my stand.
Went up on the mountain, there I made my stand.
Rifle on my shoulder, a dagger swinging in my hand.
Poor boy I've been all around the world.

Hang me oh hang me and I'll be dead and gone.
Hang me oh hang me, and I'll be dead and gone.
I wouldn't mind the hangin', just laying in this grave so long.
Poor boy I've been all around the world.

So put the rope around my neck, and hung me up so high.
He put the rope around my neck and hung me up so high.
What's worse I heard him saying was, it won't be long before you die.

Oh hang me oh hang me and I'll be dead and gone.
Hang me oh hang me, and I'll be dead and gone.
I wouldn't mind the hangin', just laying in this grave so long.
Poor boy I've been all around the world.

  1. B.... C....

    Is it just me or does he look a bit like Chris Pratt?

  2. M.... F....

    In my eyes darkness is the base for such beauty. This is hauntingly beautiful.

  3. Y.... ....

    He's slowly lost his accent

  4. B.... M....

    when will you be back on arkansas

  5. O.... S....

    Am I the only person who feels underwhelmed by this song? Lol- maybe I'm wrong, but it really wasn't so amazing...

    O.... S....

    O Sacul yes

  6. E.... T....

    makes me wanna go camping alone deep in the woods..

  7. E.... T....

    makes me wanna go camping alone deep in the woods..

  8. A.... N....

    I thought this was that song. I love Jerry so much, I just hear him in my mind.

  9. G.... R....

    i need the tabs

    G.... R....

    Search "Hang me tabs" on google. Try it.

  10. C.... ....

    There will be a biopic on this guy someday. Played by James Franco.

  11. R.... ....

    Jesus this guy only picks the best songs ever

  12. S.... o....

    i went up on the mountain, there to make my stand
    i went up on the mountain, there to make my stand
    a rifle on my shoulder
    a dagger swinging in my hand
    poor boy
    i been all.. around..this world

    this song kills me

  13. J.... S....

    It would have been fantastic if he was in Inside Llewyn Davis

    J.... S....

    did you know that Scott Avett from the Avett Brothers auditioned for that?

  14. J.... P....

    So intense and beautiful. I'm in love ♥

  15. S.... G....

    You don't need to qualify that you're straight, no one's judging you, we're here for the music.

  16. V.... S....

    Dave Van Ronk

  17. N.... M....

    umm. I recommend you listen to the rest of this man's work. Publicity means very little.

  18. 7.... ....

    I don't see any point in praising dylan more than this man. Is greatness measured by a long successful career releasing tons of records and making millions?

    Or is success measured by filling just one person with a feeling they never felt before?
    I like Dylan, but I listen to this guy more...I'm not saying he is better cause I don't think the comparison is relevant
    I will never get a chance to see Dylan in his prime, this guy on the other hand, I can still go and see while he is young. fuck ya!

    7.... ....

    Man, this it the truth, i don't think the comparison is relevant! But i must say, TMOE takes me places, and give me feelings i can't express.

    7.... ....

    The post is so fucking accurate

  19. G.... Z....

    yeah yeah, that sounded very straight

  20. L.... G....

    pretty sure im going to marry him some day.. i know he's married to idiot wind, but in some countries thats totally fine to be married to multiple people..

    L.... G....

    Liv Gains your in luck. Idk if you know, but they've been divorced for a while

  21. d.... h....

    Saw him this past summer....great show.

  22. M.... P....

    This guy reminds me of a young John Prine. Love it

  23. S.... ....

    Sweden produces all the cool folks.

  24. d.... w....

    great song, it's called 'I've been all around this world' by the way.

    d.... w....

    drew wilcox It is a great song. You are mistaken in regard to the title however as this is a cover of a song by Dave Van Ronk called Hang Me Oh Hang Me

    d.... w....

    Mark Flaherty It’s not a Dave Van Ronk song. It’s a traditional folk song, writer unknown. And those tend to have different titles over the years, so both are correct.

  25. 7.... ....

    Welcome to the mancrush that is K.M.

  26. s.... ....

    right, I'm just sayin ;)

    Bob Dylan would be proud

  29. m.... ....

    Oh man oh man, he makes me melt. Dem cheekbones. Dat stubble. Kristian, marry me!?

  30. t.... ....
