Oh, they call me Hangin' Johnny
Away, boys, away!
They say I hangs for money
So hang, boys, hang!

[Verse 2]
They say I hung me mother
Away, boys, away!
Me sisters and me brothers
So hang, boys, hang!

[Verse 3]
They say I hang me granny
Away, boys, away
I'd hang the holy family
So hang, boys, hang

[Verse 4]
They say I hung a copper
Away, boys, away
I gave him the long dropper
So hang, boys, hang

[Verse 5]
I'd hang the skipper and me mates
Away, boys, away
All on the Devil's Gates
So hang, boys, hang
[Verse 6]
Well, I never hangs for money
Away, boys, away
Cause hangings bloody funny!
So hang, boys, hang

[Verse 7]
They call me Hangin' Johnny
Away, boys, away
They call me Hangin' Johnny
So hang, boys, hang
