The Hangman - War Hippies
Composed by：Scott Edward Brown/Donald E Reis III
Produced by：Donnie Reis
You've been running with the devil and it ain't no lie
Living in the shadows of the pale moon light
She's been running with the angels everyone can see
God fearing church going honestly
That silver tongued devil swept her off her feet
Promised her the world just to steal her dreams
He knew it was coming it was his last night
Lord when they caught him should have heard him cry
Good lord willing and the creek don't rise
Town folk hollering hang him up high
Sin is sin in the good lord's eye
And the hangman's waiting just to watch you die
Dead man walking
Dead man walking
He said I didn't do it now that's the truth
Tell me how I could've 'cause there ain't no proof
Law man said boy we ain't no fool
You're gonna meet your maker at the end of that noose
Good lord willing and the creek don't rise
Town folk hollering hang him up high
Sin is sin in the good lord's eye
And the hangman's waiting just to watch you die
Dead man walking
Dead man walking
Headed to the gallows you could hear him say
Baby girl promise it will be ok
She begged and pleaded said you have to wait
The law man said girl you're way too late
Good lord willing and the creek don't rise
Town folk hollering hang him up high
Sin is sin in the good lord's eye
And the hangman's waiting just to watch you die
Good lord willing and the creek don't rise
Town folk hollering hang him up high
Sin is sin in the good lord's eye
But you might've got it wrong if the hangman cries
They strung up high swinging side by side
Devil on the left and an angel on the right
Dead man walking
