Well here I sit high gettin' ideas Ain't nothin' but a fool would live like this
Out all night [bad word]  wild woman's sittin' home with a month old child
Dang me dang me they oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree woman would you weep for me?

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 I lack fourteen dollars havin' twenty seven cents
Dang me dang me they oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree woman would you weep for me?

Roses 're red and violets 're purple and 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
Dang me dang me they oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree woman would you weep for me?
