[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Well, here I sit high, gettin' ideas
Ain't nothin' but a fool would live like this
Out all night and runnin' wild
Woman's sittin' home with a month old child

[Chorus]
Dang me, dang me
Oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman, would you weep for me?

[Verse 2]
Just sittin' round drinkin' with the rest of the guys
Six rounds bought and I bought five
I spent the groceries and a half the rent
Lack fourteen dollars, havin' twenty seven cents

[Chorus]
Dang me, dang me
Oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman, would you weep for me?
[Verse 3]
Roses are red and violets are purple
Sugar's sweet and so is maple syrple
Well I'm seventh out of seven sons
My pappy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun

[Chorus]
I said dang me, dang me
Oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman, would you weep for me?
