Hangman take these heads from me

And swing 'em from your money tree

Hear me laughing in my steps

These heads are yours, they're yours to keep



Please don't skip the last details

Rewards are yours beyond the pale

And if you slip, just look around

Your wrists are shackled to the crowd



Hangman is your passenger

Hangman is your passenger

Hangman is your passenger

The hangman is your passenger tonight



Stretching the rope with one of his hands

And in one of his hands he holds a bible

Looks at the road with one of his eyes

And with one of his eyes he will watch you driving



Hangman is your passenger

The hangman is your passenger tonight



Hangman take these heads from me

And swing 'em from your money tree

Wagered on the judgement call

But every time you lost it all
