the hangman's knee

Singer:beck, jeff

hangman

hangman

slack your noose

slack it

oh slack it

slack it for a while

there ain't no use in your hurrying me

ain't nothing gonna change things now. now i ain't trying to prove your judge is wrong

and your jury

oh your jury

i guess i'll know the way out

and if you kill me with my canvas shirt

good god

you could put my lawyer in jail. listen

it's just this twenty two minutes to prepare yourself

i haven't been in this position before

wash your hands

get your. find the waistcoat

lock the door

and oh!

get your. oh yeah

get your. lock the door. come on. listen to this one

oh hangman

hangman

slack your noose

oh slack it

please slack it

oh just slack it awhile

give me one more chance

there ain't no use in you hurryin' me

good god

nothing's gonna stop me now. oh

don't you worry

'cause you never get your. well

might get your waistcoat on

ha-ha

heh-heh.
