I believe you're the sweetest thing
that I ever met
You'd make a man start plowin'
where the ground's too wet
I know you're the prettiest girl
that ever hit this town
I was only passin' through
but now I'm hangin' round,
hangin' round
Hangin' round, hangin' round,
hangin', hangin' round
I was only passin' through,
but now I'm hangin' round
The day that I met you
was the day that I played Hex
That's the reason why I've
got this rope around my neck
We got together and
painted the town
You're the only reason why I'm hangin' around,
hangin' around
Hangin' around, hangin' hangin',
hangin' around
And you're the only reason
why I'm hangin' around
Oh, now that it's over,
everything's hidden and done
I tried to make my getaway,
but they caught me on the run
Now that they've got me,
I'll never be free
I've got this rope around my neck
and hanging from a tree
Hanging round, hanging round,
hanging round, hanging, hanging round
I got this rope around my neck
and now I'm hangin' round
