The Hanging Fee Songtext
von Uriah Heep

Mmh, mmh-mmh
Mmh-mmh, mmh-mmh, mmh
Mmh, mmh-mmh

Passin′ through the arms of Satan
Reachin' for the hands of God
And robbin′ every mind of wisdom
Runnin' so he won't get caught
He′s outlawed by majority
Been branded all his life
And some say that he′s a sinner man
As he rides from day to night

He's a bad man, so they say
Livin′ for his love and livin' free
Ridin′ swift and secretly
So he'll miss the hangin′ tree
Wounded spirit on the wind
Riding to his dream and destiny

Mmh, mmh-mmh
Mmh, mmh-mmh, mmh, mmh


He's laughin' at the wanted posters
Callin′ for his friends to see
Laughin′ aloud as he rides away
Kickin' up the dust with speed
Time hands him down a pathway
And freedom is a horse he rides
Glory is a dream he′s after
And fortune is his heart's delight

Oh, he′s a bad man, so they say
Livin' for his love and livin′ free
Ridin' swift and secretly
So he'll miss the hangin′ tree
Wounded spirit on the wind
Riding to his dream and destiny

Riding swift and secretly
So he′ll miss the hangin' tree
Wounded spirit on the wind
Riding to his dream and destiny
Riding swift and secretly
So he′ll miss the hanging tree
Wounded spirit on the wind
Riding to his dream and destiny
Riding swift and secretly
So he'll miss the hanging tree
