There's a little village near the center of Spain, |
|
Where a jealous brother killed a cold-blooded Cain. |
|
They had a dirty job that had to be done. |
|
When they asked for takers, there was only one. |
|
Cause I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman. |
|
I'm the hangman, hangman, hangman... |
|
I wake at four, wash my hands, |
|
Drink to my god, atone for my sins. |
|
Walk out to the yard, test the rope. |
|
When the dawn breaks, I start to work, |
|
Cause I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman. |
|
I'm the hangman; cause I'm the hangman... |
|
Hangman... |
|
Make peace with yourself, cause I'm the hangman. |
|
Hangman, yeah, the hangman, hangman.. |
|
Feel no guilt, I feel no shame, |
|
I return to my family at the end of the day. |
|
Sit and watch my son while he's out at play, |
|
When he grows to be a man, he'll be just like me. |
|
He'll be the hangman. I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman. |
|
I'm the hangman, hangman... |
