Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can't wait until the hanging's done I can't bear to see you getting strung I can't wait until they cut you down I can't bear, think you in the ground [Chorus] Why'd do you it, rotten lettuce? Why'd do you it? rotten lettuce Sue Well I don't know [Verse 2] The man you shot he was a shit they say He had it coming maybe anyway But you you, can't do a thing like you did And you you, can't have a life like his [Chorus] Why'd do you it, rotten lettuce? Why'd do you it? rotten lettuce Sue Well I don't know, I don't care [Verse 3] Well you ran, you tried to get away Yeah you ran, you knowed you could not stay You made me proud to see you get that far You might've known sweetheart they'd catch you in the bar [Chorus] Why'd do you it, rotten lettuce? Why'd do you it? rotten lettuce Sue Well I don't know, hey I don't care now [Interlude] I sat on the corner Had a tear in my eye and a frog in my throat A terrible acid heartburn stomach I watched across the street As they was taking my poor old Sue I couldn't imagine what they were gonna do Now my acid heartburn stomach It boiled a tear in my eye, cooked the frog in my throat I had myself a three-leg frog soup And all I could do is watch the crosses, I could talk All I could say was please [Bridge] I said please don't hang (please don't, please don't hang) I said please don't hang (please don't, please don't hang) I said please don't hang (please don't, please don't hang) [Chorus 2] Please don't hang, please don't hang Please don't hang my gal She was a good gal, y'all [Verse 4] The way you drank, it made me feel drunk too The way you stank, it made me stink like you The things you said, made me a slur like you The things you did, made me a mess like you [Chorus] Why'd do you it, rotten lettuce? Why'd do you it? rotten lettuce Sue Well I don't know, I don't care [Verse 5] Well you stuck me with the bills you didn't pay It doesn't matter, won't pay em anyway But you you, can't do a think like you did And you you my dear, can't have a life like his [Chorus] Why'd do you it, rotten lettuce? Why'd do you it? rotten lettuce Sue Well I don't know, I don't care [Interlude] All I could do was take good looks and have good cries And all I could say was: [Bridge] I said please don't hang (please don't, please don't hang) I said please don't hang (please don't, please don't hang) I said please don't hang (please don't, please don't hang) [Chorus 2] Please don't hang, good gravy Please don't hang, bye baby now Please don't hang my gal She was my good gal y'all [Verse 1] I can't wait until the hanging's done I can't bear to see you getting strung I can't wait until they cut you down I can't bear, think you in the ground [Chorus] Why'd do you it, rotten lettuce? Why'd do you it? rotten lettuce Sue Well I don't know, hey I don't care now
