Hanging on Ma

Hey Mama, why we always waiting on you
We done everything we was supposed to do
Do your lipstick and fix up your pretty hair
'Cause there's a picnic down at the ol' town square

Can you hear the sound of hammers hitting pine
Rapid work on a wooden stage so high
To get it ready for a matinee
To send another to his judgement day

Hanging Day, I saw it posted on the board
Sunday morning, after congregating with the Lord
Bring a big lunch 'cause everybody's hungry today
They can't wait 'cause Sunday's always hanging day

Hey Mama, dry up your hazel eyes
Hey Daddy, better straighten up that tie
A pretty girl waiting on a goodbye kiss
There's something no one's gonna wanna miss

Hanging Day, I saw it posted on the board
Sunday morning, after congregating with the Lord
Bring a big lunch 'cause everybody's hungry today
They can't wait 'cause Sunday's always hanging day

Hey Henry everybody's waiting on you
Is there a last thing that you'd like to say or do?
You're the one that everybody's waiting to see
I'll say a prayer, God have mercy on thee

On m'attends, la bas de l'autre cote
L'heure des adieux a sonné
La vie a filé entre mes mains
J'arrive au bout du chemin

Hanging Day, I saw it posted on the board
Sunday morning, after congregating with the Lord
Bring a big lunch 'cause everybody's hungry today
They can't wait 'cause Sunday's always hanging day

J'arrive au bout du chemin
