Songwriters: Miller, Roger
I said dang me, dang me
Dang me, dang me
I like fourteen dollars havin' twenty seven cents
Out all night and runnin' wild
High from the highest tree
Dang me, dang me
Woman would you weep for me?
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
They say roses are red and violets are purple
Six rounds bought and I bought five
My pappy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun
Woman's sittin' home with a month old child
They oughta take a rope and hang me
Well I'm seventh out of seven sons
I spent the groceries and a half the rent
And sugar's sweet and so is maple syrup
They oughta take a rope and hang me
Just sittin' 'round drinkin' with the rest of the guys
Woman would you weep for me?
High from the highest tree
