“A song of duty for justice in the midst of dishonour with valour for prestige”.

HANG ‘EM HIGH – ‘A song of duty for justice in the midst of dishonour with valour for prestige’.

Chorus:Hang ‘em high

            Many evil crimes they’ve done

            Do not cry

            Shed no tears for anyone

            Hang ‘em high

            Waste no bullet in your gun

*Hang ‘em high

  Do not cry

  Satisfy the gracious one…

First Verse:In the city of Gettysburg

                   A notorious gang took over power

                   Turning lives into a smashed egg

                   Making mockery of the Marshal’s hour

*From house to house they looted

  Rich folks and poor folks too

  From his hideout Vito booted

  Them one by one among the few

(Repeat chorus………………..)

Second Verse:Sally Mae the harlot queen

                       Came out crying out of pain

                       Mister,they have slain the king

                       Of dead end street in disdain

*Runing from the old chapel

  Was an old lady in tears

  I cannot believe the devil

  Has taken over lives in fears

(Repeat chorus………………..)

Third Verse:In the treadmill house of Tom

                   A little girl carried a lantern out

                   Missing on role has become

                   The deputy sheriff and his scout

*You could hear a pin drop

  As Vito hanged these wicked men

  Reverend Bishop said don’t stop

  Evil cannot prevail in the den

(Repeat chorus………………..)
