Lyrics:

There's a little village near the center of Spain
Where a jealous brother killed a cold-blooded Cain
They had a dirty job that had to be done
When they asked for takers, there was only one

'Cause I'm the hangman
Yeah, hangman
I'm the hangman, hangman
Hangman

I wake at four, wash my hands
Drink to my god, atone for my sins
Walk out to the yard, test the rope
When the dawn breaks, I start to work

'Cause I'm the hangman
Yeah, hangman
I'm the hangman, yes, I'm the hangman
Hangman

Make peace with yourself
'Cause I'm the hangman
Hangman, yeah, the hangman
Hangman

Feel no guilt, I feel no shame
I return to my family at the end of the day
Sit and watch my son while he's out at play
When he grows to be a man, he'll be just like me

He'll be a hangman
I'm the hangman
Yeah, hangman, I'm the hangman
Hangman
