Hangman’s Blues Songtext
von Dave Arcari

Well midday sun shone on Cherokee Bill
As he stood by the gallows pole
Hangman asked - Anything to say
Before I take your soul
I didn′t come here to make a speech, he said
I just came here to die


Well searchlights lit the blackout ripper
As he was prepared to hang
Well air raid sirens screamed outside
He stood there and sang
I didn't come here to make a speech, he said
I just came here to die

Well Lady Godiva never rode again
For the sassy blonde was hanged
Well the last woman didn′t make a sound
As the trap door below was banged
I doubt she came to make a speech
She just came here to die
