Lyrics
Hang Me High At Midnight
Hang me high at midnight
I don't want to see the sun
Hang me high at midnight
I don't want to see the sun
'Cause that sun will shine a light
On the evil things I've done
Sell my horse and saddle
Give that money to the Lord
Sell my horse and saddle
Give that money to the Lord
Maybe that'll do the good
I could never do before
Then bury me beneath the tracks
Let the train run 'cross my back
I sowed the seeds so now I reap
I don't deserve to rest in peace
So hang me high at midnight
I don't want to see the sun
Hang me high at midnight
I don't want to see the sun
'Cause that sun will shine a light
On the evil things I've done
Yes that sun will shine a light
On the evil things I have done
