As I Rode Into Tombstone On My Horse His 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 Believing Things That Didn't Fit
The Laws They'd Set Aside

The Mans Name Was Im A Freak, the best that I could see
He Was the Excecutioner, 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'd turn to hope

He'd 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 Hangmans Tree

It Didn't Take Them Long To Try Him
In Their Court Of Law
He Was Guilty then of thinkin'
Of 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
