Misc Folk - Hanging Johnny - Текст песни

They call me hanging Johnny; AWAY-I-OH,
They say I hang for money. SO HANG, BOYS, HANG!


Why did you hang your daddy;
And then your mother laddie?


They say I hung my mother;
And then I hung my brother.


I hung my sister Nancy;
Because I took a fancy.


A rope, a beam, a ladder;
I hung them all together.


They call me hanging Johnny;
But I never hung nobody.


I'd hang a brutal mother;
The same as any other.


I'd hang a noted liar;
I'd hang a bloated friar.


I'd hang all wrong and folly;
And hang to make things jolly.


Come hang and sway together;
And hang for finer weather.


They call me hanging Johnny;
But I never hung nobody.
