Oh. they calls me Hangin’ Johnny.
A-way, boys, a-way!
Because I hang fer money.
So-o hang, boys, hang!
They sez I hangs fer money,
But hangin’ is so funny.
At first I hanged me daddy,
An’ then I hanged me mammy.
Oh, yes I hanged me mother,
Me sister an’ me brother.
I hanged me sister Sally,
I hanged the whole dam’ fam’ly.
An’ then I hanged me granny,
I hanged ‘er up quite canny.
I’d hang the mate an’ skipper,
I’d hang them by their flippers.
I’d hang a ruddy copper,
I’d give ‘im the long dropper.
I’d hang a rotten liar,
I’d hang a bloomin’ friar.
I’d hang to make things jolly,
I’d hang Jane, Jill an’ Polly.
A rope, a beam, a ladder,
I’d hang yiz all tergether.
We’ll hang an’ ‘aul tergether’
We’ll hang fer better weather.
