Well, raise 'em high and string 'em up
We've gotcha, now you're good as dead
From the gallows to your grave

It's gona take your life away

Crime they say, does not pay

And you're the living proof
But not for long, cause you'll be hung
By your neck


Thirteen knots around your neck
Will really give you quite a stretch

From the gallows to your grave
It's gonna take your breath away


Chorus:

Death by hanging

Death from the gallows
Death by hanging around
Death by hanging

Death from the gallows
Death by hanging around


Raise the slime and string 'em up
We've gotcha, now you're good as gone
From the gallows to your grave

It's gonna take it all away

The crowd they cheer as you climb the stairs

Finally you're a star
But not for long, cause you'll be hung
By your neck


Chorus:


Death by hanging
Death from the gallows
Death by hanging around

Death by hanging
Death from the gallows
Death by hanging around


Crime they say, does not pay
And you're the living proof

But not for long, cause you'll be hung
By your neck


Chorus:

Death by hanging

Death from the gallows
Death by hanging around
Death by hanging

Death from the gallows
Death by hanging around
