I killed another man today, it's hard to believe,
     E5                                  A5
That I lost count at thirty, and I've grown too numb to grieve.
      A5                        D5               A5
The bottle helps me cope, when I lay down at night,
              E5                               A5
And when the dope rolls through my veins, it all fades out of sight.

Hangman, Hangman,
  A5
That's my stock and trade.
  E5
Hangman, Hangman,
         A5
Sending bad men to their grave.
     A5
But who killed who? I ask myself,
 D5              A5
Time and time again.
          E5
God have mercy on the soul,
         E5  A5

               A5                            D5         A5
And there's a woman down the street, named Rosalie McFall,
           E5                      A5
She don't ask me any questions, when I come to call.
     A5                        D5                 A5
Her body keeps me warm , her words are soft and kind,
      E5                             A5
She holds me in her arms, 'til the bad dreams leave my mind.
