TWO HANGMEN

As I rode into Tombstone on my horse whose name was Mac

I saw what I'll relate to you goin' on behind my back

It seems the folks were up in arms, a man now had to die

For believin' things that didn't fit, the laws they'd set aside

The man's name was "I'm A Freak", the best that I could see

He was an executioner, a hangman just like me

I guess that he'd seen loopholes from workin' with his rope

He'd hung the wrong man many times so now he turned to hope

He talked to all the people from his scaffold in the square

He told them of the things he found but they didn't seem to care

He said the laws were obsolete, a change they should demand

But the people only walked away, he couldn't understand

The Marshall's name was Uncle Sam, he said he'd right this wrong

He'd make the hangman shut his mouth if it took him all year long

He finally arrested Freak and then he sent for me

To hang a fellow hangman from a fellow hangman's tree

It didn't take them long to try him in their court of law

He was guilty then of thinking, a crime much worse than all

They sentenced him to die so his seed of thought can't spread

And infect the little children, that's what the law had said

So the hangin' day came 'round and he walked up to the noose

I pulled the lever but before he fell I cut him loose

They called it all conspiracy and that I had to die

So to close our mouths and kill our minds they hung us side by side

And now we're two hangmen hangin' from a tree

That don't bother me at all

Two hangmen hangin' from a tree

And that don't bother me at all
