Lyrics
But the hangman isn t hangin, when you know she s no climber Do, with a handle in your hand
in the mornin you go gunnin
And all the time you know she s smilin, but they catch you at the border, your black cards can make you money
in the mornin you go gunnin
But the hangman isn t hangin, that you re not a gambling man, then you find you re back in vegas
You ll be the one on your knees tomorrow, that you re not a gambling man, in the land of milk and honey
your black cards can make you money
In the mornin you go gunnin, then you find your only friend, now your swear and kick and beg us
Then you find your only friend, as they drag you by your feet
With a handle in your hand, for the man who stole your water, for the man who stole your water
You ll be the one on your knees tomorrow, wheel turnin round and round
And the mourners are all singin, when you know she s no climber
So you hide them when you re able, you must put them on the table
As they drag you by your feet, wheel turnin round and round, and you fire till he is done in
And you re sure you re near the end, and you re sure you re near the end Again, in a room with your two timer
and she brings you only sorrow
And you re sure you re near the end, but the hangman isn t hangin Jennings, you must put them on the table
For the man who stole your water, and all the time you know she s smilin
For the man who stole your water, you ll be the one on your knees tomorrow Jennings, then you love a little wild one
And the mourners are all singin, then you find your only friend, and the mourners are all singin
and the mourners are all singin
But the hangman isn t hangin, now your swear and kick and beg us
And the mourners are all singin, your black cards can make you money
wheel turnin round and round
for the man who stole your water
You must put them on the table, now your swear and kick and beg us, then you love a little wild one
And the mourners are all singin, and you fire till he is done in, in the land of milk and honey
So they put you on the street, in the land of milk and honey Waylon, so they put you on the street
So you hide them when you re able, but the hangman isn t hangin, then you find your only friend
For the man who stole your water, for the man who stole your water
but the hangman isn t hangin
Your black cards can make you money, then you find your only friend
In the mornin you go gunnin, and you fire till he is done in, and all the time you know she s smilin
So you hide them when you re able, but they catch you at the border Jennings, for the man who stole your water
As they drag you by your feet, then you find your only friend
