Jeff Beck Group - The Hangman's Knee lyrics

Hangman, hangman, slack your noose
Slack it, oh slack it, slack it for a while
There ain't no use in your hurrying me
Ain't nothing gonna change things now

Now I ain't trying to prove
Your judge is wrong
And your jury, oh your jury
I guess I'll know the way out
And if you kill me with my canvas shirt
Good God, you could put my lawyer in jail

Listen it's just this twenty two
Minutes to prepare yourself
I haven't been in this position before
Wash your hands, get your rabbit's felt
Find a waistcoat and lock the door and, oh

Get your rabbit felt
Oh, yeah, get your rabbit felt, lock the door
Come on

Listen to this one
Oh hangman, hangman, slack your noose
Oh slack it, please, slack it
Oh just slack it awhile
Give me one more chance
There ain't no use in you hurryin' me
Good God, nothing's gonna stop me

Oh don't you worry
'Cause you'll never get your rabbit's felt
Well, might get your waistcoat on
