On death row we are fond of the hangman of the town
He’s always been dependable, he’s never let us down
Today he’s getting married, he’s going to tie the knot
His swinging days are over now, there’s going to be a tot
To build his baby’s room he took apart his gallows pole
So now they’ll hang us in the trees, and since I’ve no parole
Hang me from the apple tree, the one right in the square
So I can kick some apples down to my girl standing there
Don’t hang me from a coffee tree, or I’ll stay up all night
But hang me from a bonsai tree ‘cause I’m afraid of heights
I could not plead insanity for spilling blood and guts
So hang me from a pecan tree to prove that I am nuts
And when you hang my Emmaline, it’s an evergreen for her
For I could never find the dough to put her in a fir
They caught me stealing jewelry but I swallowed all the things
So hang me from a redwood, cut me down and count the rings
I think I caught a cold in jail, and here’s my doctor’s note
So hang me from a slippery elm, to prevent a scratchy throat
I feel my life’s been all for knot as I take my final bough
Let’s drop the subject please, I’m feeling pretty…choked up… now
Just imagine if these outtakes made it into EATEOT, the project would've been over seven hours! I love how "I Might Be Vanishing" is a stark contrast from other tracks, being only nine seconds. 913GA
