I killed another man today, it's hard to believe
Well i lost count at thirty and i've grown to numb to grieve
The bottle helps me cope, when i lay down at night
And when the dope rolls through my veins, it all fades out of sight.
Hangman, hangman, that's my stock and trade
Hangman, hangman, sending bad men to their graves
Well who killed who, i ask myself, time and time again
God have mercy on the soul of this hangman
There's a woman down the street, named rosalie mcfall
She don't ask me any questions, when i come to call
Her body keeps me warm, her words are soft and kind.
She holds me in her arms till the bad dreams leave my mind
Hangman, hangman, that's my stock and trade
Hangman, hangman, sending bad men to their graves
Well, who killed who, i ask myself, time and time again
God have mercy on the soul of this hangman
God have mercy on the soul of this hangman
