Two Hangmen Lyrics - Singles - Mason Proffit

As I rode into Tombstone on my horse, his name was Mack 

I saw what I'll relate to you, going 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 "I'm a Freak". the best that could see 

He was the executioner, a hangman just like me 

I geuss he'd seen loopholes from working 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 marshals name was "Uncle Sam", he said he'd right this wrong 

He'd make the hangman shut his mouth, if it took him all day 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 "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 lose 

They called it a 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 

That don't bother me, at all 

(Same all the way to the end)
