Tom T. Hall
Hang Them All
[Verse 1:]
There's a murderer in your town, Mister
There were seven unsolved last year
There's a murderer in your town, Mister
How long has he been living here

[Chorus:]
If they hang 'em all they get the guilty
If they hang 'em all they cannot miss
If they hang 'em all they get the guilty
Been a lot of problem solved like this

[Verse 2:]
There's a thief in your town, Mister
This morning my milk was gone
There's a thief in your town, Mister
How long has this been going on

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
There's a cheater in your town, Mister
Last night I saw him in a bar
There's a cheater in your town, Mister
Is that the kind of people you are
[Chorus]

[Verse 4:]
There's a hypocrite in your town, Mister
I think I caught him in a lie
There's a hypocrite in your town, Mister
Are you gonna let that go by

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
If they hang 'em all they get the guilty
If they hang 'em all they cannot miss
If they hang 'em all they get the guilty
Been a lot of problem solved like this
If they hang 'em all they get the guilty
