Hangwoman, hangwoman 
Sleeping in my bed 
Got me a hangwoman, 
Hanging round my bed. 
Lord I dunno but, I think she wants me dead. 

Hangwoman, hangwoman 
Got me wearing my best clothes. 
I said this little hangwoman, 
Got me wearing my best clothes. 
But if it's for a wedding or a funeral, only she knows 
Said if it's a wedding or a funeral, only god knows 

You can't stop a fly flying 
You can't stop a flood from flooding 
You can't stop, a man from lying 
You can't stop this girl from tying. 

Hangwoman, hangwoman 
Tie that noose around my neck 
Hangwoman, hangwoman 
Tie that noose around my neck 
Hangwoman, tie that noose, so our love would never break
