My name is Ethan Lang, Ethan Lang
My name is Ethan Lang, Ethan Lang
My name is Ethan Lang, I'm the leader of the gang
And they say that I must hang, dang their eyes

I killed a man, they said, so they said
I killed a man, they said, so they said
I killed a man, they said, when I hit him on the head
And I left him there for dead, dang his eyes

The judge said I must pay, I must pay
The judge said I must pay, I must pay
The judge said I must pay, for the life I took away
Now I'm facing Judgement Day, dang your eyes

They put me in the jail, in the jail
They put me in the jail, in the jail
They put me in the jail, fed me from an iron pail
With no one to go my bail, dang their eyes

The sheriff brought the rope, brought the rope
The sheriff brought the rope, brought the rope
The sheriff brought the rope, and he sprung a ghastly joke
When he said, "I hope you choke", dang his eyes

The jailer, he came too, he came too
The jailer, he came too, he came too
The jailer, he came too, and he brought his nasty crew
For their bloody work to do, dang their eyes

The preacher, he did come, he did come
The preacher, he did come, he did come
The preacher, he did come, and he looked so awful glum
When he talked of Kingdom Come, dang his eyes

Oh, my sweetheart will be there, will be there
Oh, my sweetheart will be there, will be there
Oh, my sweetheart will be there, she's the only one who'll care
When I'm swinging in the air, dang your eyes

Now I bid my last farewell, last farewell
Now I bid my last farewell, last farewell
Now I bid my last farewell, and this story you can tell
How I cursed you as I fell, dang your eyes
