Smile for the Hangman | Upbeat Dark Folk & D&D Tavern Song (Lyrics Video)

He's buying. All night, everyone, anything you want. He came into money and he won't be needing it after sunrise. An original upbeat tavern jig about a man spending his last night above ground. The tune is happy. The song is not. 🍻 Perfect for: a doomed NPC, a last night before a hard fight, gallows humour at your table, and dancing to something you'll regret listening to properly. *Lyrics:* Fill them up, I'm paying tonight I've got coin and no use for it Bought this round with a debt I'll not owe by the time the sun gets lit Ha! He's paying! You all heard him — drink it dry before he sobers up! Don't you look at me like that Don't you dare go quiet now So smile for the hangman, smile for the rope! Smile like you mean it, that's all that I hope! I'd rather go laughing than go on my own — so smile for the hangman and walk me home! I did it. Yes. I'd do it twice He had it coming, ask the road They'll hang me proper, hang me high and I'll go easy, so I'm told ...You did it You actually did it Aye And I'd like the song anyway So smile for the hangman, smile for the rope! Smile like you mean it, that's all that I hope! I'd rather go laughing than go on my own — so smile for the hangman and walk me home! There's a girl in the third row weeping and I never learned her name Somebody buy her something warm Somebody do the same for the next fool at this table when it's someone else's night So smile for the hangman, smile for the rope! Smile like you mean it, that's all that I hope! I'd rather go laughing than go on my own — so smile for the hangman and walk me home! Walk me home Walk me home He walked out at first light He was still smiling I wasn't
