about

Acoustic version of Hang Me, Oh Hang Me, one of the tracks from my debut album.

lyrics

Hang me, oh hang me, I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me, I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging but the layin' in a grave so long, poor boy
I’ve been all around this world

I been all 'round cape Girardeau, parts of Arkansas
All around cape Girardeau, parts of Arkansas
Got so god damn hungry I could hide behind a straw, poor boy
I’ve been all around this world

Went up on a mountain, there I made my stand
Went up on a mountain, there I made my stand
Rifle on my shoulder and a dagger in my hand, poor boy
I’ve been all around this world

So hang me, oh hang me, I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me, and I'll be dead and gone
I wouldn't mind the hanging but the layin' in a grave so long, poor boy
I’ve been all around this world

Put the rope around my neck and hung me up so high
Put the rope around my neck, hung me up so high
Last words I heard 'em say, won't be long before you die, poor boy
I’ve been all around this world

So hang me, oh hang me, I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me, I'll be dead and gone
I wouldn't mind the hanging but the layin' in the grave, poor boy
I’ve been all around this world

about

Guilherme Boisson Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

I learnt how to play the guitar twice. First from my grandpa, then from the records of Townes Van Zandt.
"Pick it!" That's what I always heard. And that is how I got the blues.

I guess one could call the music I make folk music. For me it's an attempt. I hope it gets to you. I hope you find something in it. And if you do, share it, pass it on.

Tnks, friend. And remember: "To live is to fly."
