The Longest Johns - Hanging Johnny Lyrics

The Longest Johns Lyrics

"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 (Not 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
