Dang Me
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · Country's Best on Record [RCA Victor] [1968]
(Roger Miller)
Well, here I sit high gettin' ideas
Ain't nothin' but a fool would live like this
Out all night and runnin' wild
My woman's sittin' home with a month old child.
Said dang me, dang me
They oughta take rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?
--- Instrumental ---
Just sittin' around drinkin' with the rest of guys
Six rounds bought and I bought five
Spent the groceries and a half the rent
I lack fourteen dollars havin' twenty seven cents.
Said dang me, dang me
They oughta take rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?
--- Instrumental ---
They say roses are red and violets are purple
Sugar is sweet and so is maple syrup
I'm seventh out of seven sons
I'm happy with a pistol, I'm a son of a gun.
Said dang me, dang me
They oughta take rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?...
