Lyrics[]
- Get on with it
- Put off the fuss you chickenshit
- Get on with it
- Can't you see it's time to quit
- I seen three men hanging from a sycamore
- Their bodies were stiff as a two by four
- And their heads were tilted towards the dirt
- And it ain't been long since they been up there
- That their bodies turned cold hangin in the air
- They mighta froze before that noose got to them
- Old scratch has dealt us a dirty hand
- He had the look of a saint but the greed of a man
- and his face was worn and wrinkled like a leather book
- And if I put this revolver to my head
- Will God turn against me instead
- of taking pity on a broken man?
