Bah-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-oo-oo, bah-bah-bow
Bah-bow-bow-bow-bow, bow-bow
Doo-doo-dow-dow-dow dah-di-doo-doo-dow.
Well here I sit a-high, gettin' ideas
Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this
Out all night and runnin' wild
Woman sittin' home with a month old child.
Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me.
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-di-doo-boo-bow, one more time
Doo-doo-doo-boo, boo-boo-bi-boo-boo-bow.
Just settin' around drinkin' with the rest of the guys
Six rounds bought, and I bought five
And I spent the groceries and half the rent
I lack fourteen dollars and twenty seven cents.
Well dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me.
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-di-doo-boo-bow, one more time
Doo-doo-doo-boo, boo-boo-bi-boo-boo-bow.
Roses are red and violets are purple
Sugar's sweet and so's maple surple
And I'm the seventh out of seven sons
Pappy's a pistol, I'm a son of a gun.
Well dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me.
Bah-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-oo-oo, bah-bah-bow
Bah-bow-bow-bow-bow, dow-dow
Doo-doo-dow-dow-dow dah-di-doo-doo-dow
Bee-bee-bee-bee-beep-beepy, dah-dah-dah-dah-doo
