Hanging Johnny

They call me Hanging Johnny
Away, boys, away!
But I never hanged nobody
So hang, boys, hang!

They says I hanged me mother
Away, boys, away!
My sister and me brother
So hang, boys, hang!

They says I hanged me granny
Away, boys, away!
And I hanged me whole damn family
So hang, boys, hang!

A rope, a beam, a ladder
Away, boys, away!
I'll hang ye all together
So hang, boys, hang!

Well, I hanged a rotten liar
Away, boys, away!
But I hanged the bloody friar
So hang, boys, hang!

They says I hang for money
Away, boys, away!
But hanging's so bloody funny
So hang, boys, hang!

We all will hang together
Away, boys, away!
It's all for better weather
So hang, boys, hang!
