Hanging Johnny Lyrics - Great Big Sea

(Traditional - Arr. GBS) 

Well, they call me Hangin' Johnny 

Away boys, away 

Well, I never hanged nobody 

And it's hang boys, hang 

Well, first I hanged me mother 

Away boys, away 

Me sister and me brother 

And it's hang boys, hang 

Well, next I hanged me granny 

Away boys, away 

Well, I'd hang the Holy Family 

And it's hang boys, hang 

Well, I never hangs for money 

Away boys, away 

It's just that hanging's so bloody funny 

And it's hang boys, hang 

Oh, they calls me Hangin' Johnny 

Away boys, away 

Well, I never hanged nobody 

And it's hang boys, hang
