This song was banned. My roommate Mark Brown and I would sing it together more times than I can remember. RIP Mark (1955-1996). Always on my mind, my friend. As I rode into Tombstone on my horse, his name was Mack I saw what Ill 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 didnt fit, the laws theyd set aside The mans name was Im a Freak. the best that could see He was the executioner, a hangman just like me I geuss hed seen loopholes from working with his rope Hed 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 didnt seem to care He said the laws were obsolete, a change they should demand But the people only walked away, he couldnt understand The marshals name was Uncle Sam, he said hed right this wrong Hed 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 didnt 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 cant spread And infect the little children, thats 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 were two hangmen, hangin from a tree That dont bother me, at all Two hangmen, hangin from a tree That dont bother me, at all (Same all the way to the end) Read more: Mason Proffit - Two Hangmen Lyrics | MetroLyrics https://youtube/watch?v=ELx7Xp1xYIw
