the hangman - war hippies lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
you’ve been runnin’ with the devil and it ain’t no lie
livin’ in the shadows of the pale moon light
she’s been runnin’ with the angels, everyon can see
god*fearin’, church*goin’ honestly
that silver*tongued devil swept her off her feet
promised her the world just to steal her dreams
he knew it was comin’, it was his last night
lord, when they caught him, should have heard him cry

[chorus]
good lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise
town folk hollerin’ “hang him up high”
sin is sin in the good lord’s eye
and the hangman’s waitin’ just to watch you die
dead man walkin’
dead man walkin’

[verse 2]
he said, “i didn’t do it, now that’s the truth
tell me how i could’ve ’cause there ain’t no proof”
law man said, “boy we ain’t no fool
you’re gonna meet your maker at the end of that noose”

[chorus]
good lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise
town folk hollerin’ “hang him up high”
sin is sin in the good lord’s eye
and the hangman’s waitin’ just to watch you die
dead man walkin’
dead man walkin’
[verse 3]
headed to the gallows you could her him say
“baby girl, promise it will be ok”
she begged and pleaded, said, “you have to wait”
the law man said, “girl, you’re way too late”

[chorus]
good lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise
town folk hollerin’ “hang him up high”
sin is sin in the good lord’s eye
and the hangman’s waitin’ just to watch you die
good lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise
town folk hollerin’ “hang him up high”
sin is sin in the good lord’s eye
but, you might’ve got it wrong if the hang man cries

[outro]
they strung up high swinging side by side
devil on the left and an angel on the right
dead man walkin’
