Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hangman, hangman, slack your noose
Slack it, oh, slack it, slack it for a while
There ain't no use in your hurrying me
Ain't nothing gonna change things now
[Verse 2]
Now I ain't trying to prove your judges wrong
And your jury, oh, your jury, I guess I'll know the way out
And if you kill me with my canvas shirt
Good God, you could put my lawyer in jail
[Verse 3]
Listen
It's just this twenty two minutes to prepare yourself
I haven't been in this position before
Wash your hair, get your rabbit's felt
Find a waistcoat and lock the door
[Verse 4]
And, oh
Get your rabbit felt
Oh, yeah, get your rabbit felt, lock the door
Come on
[Verse 5]
Listen to this one
[Verse 6]
Oh, hangman, hangman, slack your noose
Oh, slack it, please slack it
Oh, just slack it a while, give me one more chance
[Verse 7]
There be no use in you hurrying me
Good God, nothing's gonna stop me
Oh
Don't you worry
'Cause you'll never get your rabbit's felt
Well, you might get your waistcoat on
