Angel Forrest - Hangman

I sent my letter, to tell you how I felt
You went crazy, ripped it up and wept
You headed south for something you believe
Left me with the bag, all alone to bleed
I’ve been had more times than I care to share
Something tells me you got them there law doggies on your trail
You won’t do time you gotta reap what you sow
You can’t mend your fences leave the bodies below

Well the hangmans comin’, the devils comin’ too
Everybodies gunnin’ their gunnin’ for you

I’m a hard headed woman, this I can’t deny
I though I could tame, that there devil you got inside
You’ve got a hunger that burns in your eyes
You ride that evil with a foolish sense of pride

The hangmans comin’ the devils comin’ too
Everybodies gunnin’ their gunnin’ for you
The preacher wants you hanging, he knows you had his wife
You’d better keep runnin’ better run for your life
