David Kenneth Ritz Van Ronk (Brooklyn, New York City, June 30, 1936 – New York City,February 10, 2002) was an American folk singer. An important figure in the American folk music revival and New York City's Greenwich Village scene in the 1960s, he was nicknamed the "Mayor of MacDougal Street".

Van Ronk's work ranged from old English ballads to blues, gospel, rock, New Orleans jazz, and swing. He was also known for performing instrumental ragtime guitar music, especially his transcription of "St. Louis Tickle" and Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag". Van Ronk was a widely admired avuncular figure in "the Village", presiding over the coffeehouse folk culture and acting as a friend to many up-and-coming artists by inspiring, assisting, and promoting them. Folk performers he befriended include Bob Dylan, Tom Paxton, Patrick Sky, Phil Ochs, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and Joni Mitchell. Dylan recorded Van Ronk's arrangement of the traditional song "House of the Rising Sun" on his first album, which the Animals turned into a chart-topping rock single in 1964, helping inaugurate the folk-rock movement.

Van Ronk received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) in December 1997. He died in a New York hospital of cardiopulmonary failure while undergoing postoperative treatment for colon cancer.

Hang me, Oh Hang Me - Dave Van Ronk

 

Hang me oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
Hang me oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging
But the laying in the grave so long
Poor boy
I've been all around this world

I've been all around Cape Girardeau
Parts of Arkansas
All around Cape Girardeau
Parts of Arkansas
Got so goddamn hungry
I could hide behind a straw
I've been all around this world

Went up on a mountain
There I made my stand
Went up on a mountain
There I made my stand
Rifle on my shoulder
And a dagger in my hand
Poor boy
I've been all around this world

Hang me oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
Hang me oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging
But the laying in the grave so long
Poor boy
I've been all around this world

Put the rope around my neck
Hung me up so high
Put the rope around my neck
Hung me up so high
Last words I heard him say:
Won't be long now 'fore you die
Poor boy
I've been all around this world

Hang me oh hang me
And I'll be dead and gone
Hang me oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging
But the laying in the grave so long
Poor boy
I've been all around this world
