Dropkick Murphys - Hang 'Em High Lyrics
We waited together for the cowards to come
Outgunned and outnumbered but we wouldn’t run
No mercy, no quarter
They’ll pay for their sins
Now lower the cannons the battle begins
We waited together for the cowards to come
Outgunned and outnumbered but we wouldn’t run
No mercy, no quarter
They’ll pay for their sins
Now lower the cannons the battle begins
We weighed anchor in anger, set sail for revenge
Hoisted the canvas turned her into the wind
We’ll hang ‘em high for justice and the whole world will see
Now off with their heads boys and bring ‘em to me
We waited together for the cowards to come
Outgunned and outnumbered but we wouldn’t run
No mercy, no quarter
They’ll pay for their sins
Now lower the cannons the battle begins
We’ll rattle the sabers for the tyrants’ demise
Feed half to sharks and the rest to the flies
An honorable death for you would be too nice
I’d like to savor the moment and kill you twice
We waited together for the cowards to come
Outgunned and outnumbered but we wouldn’t run
No mercy, no quarter
They’ll pay for their sins
Now lower the cannons the battle begins
The battle begins

Ye be on the side of winning When ye have Irishmen on ye side. For an Irish is stubborn, too stubborn to run and too stubborn to know when to give up! Fight! Fight! Fight!
I'm canadian bitches, let's talk about hockey!
Even as an English man, this song is fucking amazing!!!
#draintheswamp
Fuck off.
Ayer Flite #trumpout #lockhimup
Trump 2020!
Why would Trump supporters listen to this band? They are anti-facist and support unions.
@Franz Kafka because they're idoits
oh baby a tripple this songs rocks
anyone look for this song from battleship the movie?
yup plus when I was like 10 and playing hockey they always played us on with this song and when it was in battleship, I had to find it
conner greenlee
gonna watch it right now for the reference. heard Rhianna drops trou in it? that true?
this song is way too good!
Seems like you guys have no idea what this song is about. This song is about the American Revolution. They talk about being outgunned and outnumbered, like the Continental Army. The 'cowards' are the British regulars, and the 'battle begins' at Lexington & Concord in 1775. Just figured I'd let that fact be known. Oh, and I live in the town that the Dropkick Murphys formed in, Quincy Massachusetts. Yes, this song was in NHL 12, but this is really about the American Revolution.
Yeah, or since they are a celtic punk band, the odds are just as equally good that they are singing about one of the 6 large scale Irish rebellions against the English
Or the war of 1812 on the USS constitution "turned her into the wind" "lower the cannons the battle begins" or you can ask Ken the inspiration of the song. DKM normally answers in a day or so.
Don’t recall there being ships at the battle of Lexington and concord.... “Set sail” “turn her into the wind” “lower the cannons”
Someone is up their own ass
Just, that the Continental Army was never outnumbered or outgunned, it was the British that had fewer men and weapons! It is just a popular myth, that the Americans were few against the mighty bis British Army!
this reminds me of nitro circus the movie damn
plus im seeing them today live in london whoop whoop
I see a lot about sports on here. You know, this song has many meanings for a ton of different things, or maybe it is just a song. But honestly, before I read all these comments, I though they were singing about the war of 1812. "We waited together for the cowards to come
and "Out gunned and out numbered, but we wouldn't run." A good deal of this song could be linked to the USS Constitution. The hostility is clear, and matches the anger that the US sailors felts towards the British for taking US sailors and blockading supply routes between France and the US. Which at the time, France and England were heavy in war with each other.
I had this song in my head the whole time during my final tests at the university :)
Whats wrong with talking about hockey, again? Especially considering that 1. This song is featured in NHL 12, ya know, a HOCKEY GAME!!! And 2. the Dropkicks have two hockey sticks as part of their logo!! So yeah, anyone complaining about hockey can suck my ass!!!
+Kristie Timbo Well considering that Dropkick Murphys is basically centered around Baseball that would be strange. Lmao, their remake of "Tessie" is the Red Sox's anthem mate.
+K-Next yes very much, all the time. They obviously like hockey too considering the hockey helmet and crossed hockey sticks in their logo. Just because the Red Sox use Tessie doesn't mean they're baseball exclusive.
@Brooks Dawkins wasn't complaining about hockey or anything, just pointing out that they're a lot more baseball influenced than hockey
Fuck all of you. All you care about is the fucking hockey. Do any of you even know what album this is from? Like Jesus Christ such a good song and it's wasted on fuckers who don't even care about the music. Fuck hockey. Fuck ALL SPORTS for that matter.
people these days am I right?
Ooooh sorry i didn't know that I need your consent to talk about something. Kiss my ass. Talking hockey won't kill the music. Quiet. Go get on black ops 3 and don't pretend you can tell what I care about
Batterie64 You know the band that made this loves hockey, right? Atleast thats what I've been told, by their music videos and stuff
I learned from nhl
Banjo Solo!
I'm pretty sure this was from the album going out in style not NHL 12
hockey.
Go Canes!
Lets go Hawks!!
Toni Järvelin

Toni Järvelin bruh the Dropkick Murphys play for Boston
Me and my crews song!

Syns94

8 people got hung high.
Make it 10
Can you people stop talking about hockey and listen to this wonderful song?
This is such an old post anyway. Why are you even replying m8?
Quikskope Kunfirmed Because it's a good fucking song and I wanted to listen to it..... Pretty sure that's the same reason you're here
Calm down m9.
Brandon, consider suicide.
+The Android Sent by CyberLife The audacity to tell someone else to calm down after reading your other comments is too funny. I couldn't care less about hockey either, but if other people enjoy hockey, let them enjoy hockey. Everyone in the band loves hockey, they have multiple songs on multiple hockey games, multiple songs of theirs are played for multiple hockey teams, and they have a song about hockey. the picture is a skull wearing a hockey helmet with hockey sticks.
This song is whittlesey's men during the Meuse-Argonne offensive right here
Best song ever
