Hang Me, Oh Hang Me - Banjo Traditional Folk Song

Hang Me Oh Hang Me (Been All Around This World) is a Traditional Folk Song I play on the Mountain Banjo in the Clawhammer overhand style.

Hang Me Oh Hang Me (Been All Around This World)
Words and music
Banjo in C tuning

Hang me, oh hang me, I`ll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me, I`ll be dead and gone
I wouldnt mind the hangin` but that laying
In the grave so long I been all around this world

Working on the new rail line, mud up to my knees
Working on the new rail line, mud up to my knees
Working for ol John Henry he`s a-mighty hard to please
I been all around this world

Went up on the mountain there I took my stand
Went up on the mountain there I took my stand
Rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand
I been all around this world

Lulu oh Lulu come open up this door
Lulu oh Lulu come open up this door
Before I have to open it with my ol` 44
I been all around this world

Momma and poppa and little sister makes three
Momma and poppa and little sister makes three
When they take me down to the gallows that`ll be the last they see of me
I been all around this world

Hang me, oh hang me, I`ll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me, I`ll be dead and gone
I wouldnt mind the hangin` but that laying
In the grave so long I been all around this world
