I believe you're the sweetest thing that I've ever met
You'd make a man start plowing where the ground's too wet
I know you're the prettiest girl that ever hit this town
I was only passing through but now I'm hanging 'round

Hanging 'round (Hanging 'round)
Hanging 'round (Hanging, hanging 'round)
I was only passing through but now I'm hanging 'round

[Instrumental]

Oh, the day that I met you, was the day that I played [?]
That's the reason why I got this rope around my neck
We got together and pain hit the town
And you're the only reason why I'm hanging around

Hanging 'round (Hanging 'round)
Hanging 'round (Hanging, hanging around)
And you're the only reason why I'm hanging around

Oh, now that it's over, everything's said and donе
I tried to make my getaway, but thеy caught me on the run
Now that they caught me I'll never be free
I've got this rope around my neck and hanging from a tree

Hanging 'round (Hanging 'round)
Hanging 'round (Hanging, hanging around)
I've got this rope around my neck and now I'm hanging around
