Lyrics
Well, here I sit high, gettin’ ideasAin’t nothing but a fool would live like thisOut all night and runnin’ wildWoman sittin’ home with a month-old childDang me, dang meThey oughta take a rope and hang meHigh from the highest treeWoman, would you weep for me?Just sittin’ around drinkin’ with the rest of the guysSix rounds bought, and I bought fiveAnd I spent the groceries and half the rentLike 14 dollars and 27 centsDang me, dang meThey oughta take a rope and hang meHigh from the highest treeWoman, would you weep for me?One more timeRoses are red and violets are purpleSugar is sweet and so is maple syrupWell, I’m the seventh out of seven sonsMy pappy’s a pistol, I’m a son-of-a-gunWell, dang me, dang meThey oughta take a rope and hang meHigh from the highest treeWoman, would you weep for me?
