A dry killing windBlows across the desert floorI walked a hundred milesNow it is just a couple moreThey put a rope around my neckAnd put me in the groundYeah but you know what they sayYou can't keep a good man downThey gave me just enough ropeWrapped it tight around my throatSwung me from the gallows poleDumped my body in a holeThey gave me just enough ropeNow hell is coming to your townAnd those who tried to put me downYou know they're gonna rue the dayYou know I'm gonna make 'em payThey gave me just enough ropeThey dragged me through the desertLeft me in a shallow graveSaid I was an outlawThought my hanging made them braveSongtexteThey left me for a corpseFor the vultures and the ratsYeah they thought they put me downBut now I'm backThey gave me just enough ropeWrapped it tight around my throatSwung me from the gallows poleDumped my body in a holeThey gave me just enough ropeNow hell is coming to your townAnd those who tried to put me downYou know they're gonna rue the dayYou know I'm gonna make 'em payThey gave me just enough rope Aus Songtexte Mania
