Текст песни Roger Miller - Dang Me Well here I sit high, getting ideas
Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this
Out all night and running wild
Woman sitting home with a month old child
Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?
Just sitting around drinking with the rest of the guys
Six rounds bought, and I bought five
I spent the groceries and a half the rent
Like fourteen dollars having twenty seven cents.
So dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?
They says roses are red and violets are purple
And sugar’s sweet and so is maple syrup
Well I’m seventh out of seven sons
My pappy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun.
I said dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
