Capo: 1
Song: Hangman Artist: Marty Stuart (& His Fabulous Superlatives) Album: Ghost Train: The Studio B Sessions Words and music by: Marty Stuart & J.R. Cash Tuning: Standard Capo: 1st fret This was probably the last song that Johnny Cash ever wrote, and it's a good thing that he wrote it with Marty Stuart, as he's somebody who knows how to carry on the traditions that Cash had been laying down since the 1950s. It's also fitting that it's a prison song. If you haven't already, then check out all the other songs on this album, as it's definitely one of Stuart's finest (except the song 'Porter Wagoner's Grave'... that's s**t).
I killed anAother man today,D it's hard to beliAeve, That EI lost count at thirty, and I've grAown too numb to grieve. The boAttle helps me cope, when DI lay down at niAght, And when the dEope rolls through my veins, it aAll fades out of sight.
HaDngman, Hangman, ThAat's my stock and trade. HaEngman, Hangman, Sending bAad men to their grave. But wAho killed who? I ask myself, TDime and time agAain. God have mEercy on the soul, Of this HE7angmAan.
And there's a wAoman down the street, named RDosalie McFAall, She don't aEsk me any questions, whAen I come to call. Her bAody keeps me warm, her woDrds are soft and kAind, She hoElds me in her arms, 'til the bAad dreams leave my mind.
