[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well, here I m sitting high, just gettin ideas
Ain t nothing but a fool would live like this
Out all night and runnin wild
Woman sittin home with a month-old child
[Chorus]
Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
N.C.
Woman, would you weep for me?
[Verse 2]
Just sittin around drinkin with the rest of the guys
Six rounds bought, and I bought five
Spent money on the groceries and half the rent
Like fourteen dollars and twenty-seven cents
[Chorus]
Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
N.C.
Woman, would you weep for me?
[Verse 3]
Roses are red and violets are purple
Sugar is sweet and so is maple surple
Well I m the seventh out of seven sons
My pappy was a pistol, I m a son-of-a-gun
[Chorus]
Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
N.C.
Woman, would you weep for me?
[Outro]
