Hang Me, Oh Hang Me

I haven’t actually seen the movie Inside Llewyn Davis (which kind of gave this song a big boost in popularity) but I know this one from listening to Dave van Ronk’s Folksinger album. One of those beautiful old songs written by that genius, Anonymous. Hope you enjoy my version, and we’ll see you next Sunday! We’re on Patreon! Help us out with our Sunday Morning videos!
