(Roger Miller)

Well, here I sit high gettin' ideas
Ain't nothin' but a fool would live like this
Out all night and runnin' wild
My woman's sittin' home with a month old child.

Said dang me, dang me
They oughta take rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?

--- Instrumental ---

Just sittin' around drinkin' with the rest of guys
Six rounds bought and I bought five
Spent the groceries and a half the rent
I lack fourteen dollars havin' twenty seven cents.

Said dang me, dang me
They oughta take rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?

--- Instrumental ---

They say roses are red and violets are purple
Sugar is sweet and so is maple syrup
I'm seventh out of seven sons
I'm happy with a pistol, I'm a son of a gun.

Said dang me, dang me
They oughta take rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?...
