Hang Your Head Lyrics

Hang your head over

Hang your head today

You killed your sweetheart

Is what they all say

You say you didn't

You weren't even there to see

You say you're innocent

And you should be free

Hang your head over

Hang your head to die

You say your innocent

And they all hear your cry

The hangman pulls the switch

The whole town does stare

There's another man dead

In the middle of town square

Hang your head over

Hang your head to die

I know your innocent

But I won't tell them why

There's no need to tell them

What they don't need to know

But on your hanging day

I'll be in the front row

Hang your head over

Hang your head to die

I know your innocent

But I won't tell them why

I no longer hear

The pitter patter of her feet

Or her hollerin'

Up and down the street

Hang your head over

Hang your head to die

I know your innocent

But I won't tell them why
