Well, here sitta' high, gettin' ideas, 
Ain't nothin' but a fool'd live like this; 
Out all night, n' running wild; 
Woman setting home with a month-old child. 

Dang me, 
Dang me; 
They ought to take a rope and hang me; 
High from the highest tree, 
Woman wouldja' weep for me? 

Just sitting 'round drinking with the rest of the guys, 
Six rounds bought, n' I bought five; 
Spent the groceries and half the rent; 
Like fourteen dollars and 27 cents. 

So dang me, 
Dang me; 
They ought to take a rope and hang me 
High from the highest tree, 
Woman wouldja' weep for me? 

They say roses are red, and violets are purple; 
Sugar's sweet and so is maple surple. 
I'm the seventh out of seven sons; 
My pappy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun. 

I say dang me, 
Dang me; 
They ought to take a rope and hang me 
High from the highest tree, 
Woman wouldja' weep for me?
