Amos Lee LIVE "Hang Me Oh Hang Me"/ "I'be Been All Around This World" (cover) Buell Theater Denver

This is an awesome performance of this song ...great cover!! but I have always liked his picks for covers I have found different names for this song but the version by Dave Van Ronk is called "Hang Me, Oh Hang Me": The Grateful Dead did a version of it and it was called "I've Been All Around This World" Chorus 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 mind the hanging, but the laying in the grave's so long Poor boy, I've been all around this world I've been all around Cape Giradeau, parts of Arkansas All around Cape Girardeau, parts of Arkansas Got so goddam hungry, I could hide behing a straw Poor boy, I've been all around this world Went up on the mountain, there I made my stand Went up on the 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 [chorus] Put the rope around my neck, hung me up so high Put the rope around my neck, hung me up so high Last words I heard him say, won't be long now before you die Poor boy, I've been all around this world History The origins of this song are uncertain, and I'm not sure where Jerry learnt it from. I am grateful for Matt Schofield's help in putting this history together. It includes a version titled Dixon and Johnson, and versions by Justus Begley, Dave Van Ronk and Joe Val. The 'Hang Me' verse is thought to derive from "My Father Was A Gambler", a US ballad, which is thought to be about a murderer who was hanged in 1870. The chorus given in Ozark Folksongs from a 1929 field recording is: Hang me, oh hang me, an' I'll be dead an' gone Hang me, oh hang me, an' I'll be dead an' gone I wouldn't mind the hangin', but to lay in my grave so long To lay in my grave so long One possible source for the song is `Dixon and Johnson' which seems to have been a later introduction into the States from UK - collected in 1890s in UK but only later in the US, sometimes as The Three Butchers - again from Ozark Folksongs a field recording from 1941 (the tune given is fairly similar to that we know for I've been All Around This World):
