Oh, they call me Hanging Johnny,
Away, Hay I-Oh
And they say I hang for money,
So hang, boys, hang.
They say I hang for money,
Away I oh,
But hanging is so funny,
So hang, boys, hang.
At first I hanged me daddy, etc.
And then I hanged me mommy, etc.
Oh, yes I hanged me mother, etc.
Me sister and me brother, etc.
I hanged me sister Sally, etc.
I hanged the whole damn family, etc.
A rope, a beam, a ladder, etc.
I’d hang you all together, etc.
We’ll hang and haul together, etc.
We’ll hang for better weather, etc.
