Hangin' Johnny

From Shipmates (2012)

Traditional

1. Oh, they calls me Hangin' Johnny (D)

(Away boys, away) (G-D)

But I never hung nobody (G-D-A-D)

(So hang, boys, hang) (D-A-D)

Oh they says I hung me mother

Me sister an' me brother

Oh they says I hung me Granny

That I hung her up so canny

Ah, they says I hang for money

Ah, but hangin' is so funny

Oh, I'd hang a bloomin' friar

An' I'd hang a bloody liar

I'd hang the mate an' skipper

I'd hang 'em by their flippers

A rope, a chair, a ladder

Oh, I'd hang yuz all together

Yes, I'd hang yeez all together

We'll hang for better weather
