Hangman, hangman, slack your rope |
|
Slack it for a while |
|
I think I see my father comin' |
|
Ridin' many a mile. |
|
Papa, did you bring me silver? |
|
Papa, did you bring me gold |
|
Did you come to see me hangin' |
|
By the gallows pole? |
|
I couldn't bring no silver |
|
Didn't bring no gold |
|
I came to see you hangin', boy |
|
By the gallows pole. |
|
Hangman, hangman, slack your rope |
|
Slack it for a while |
|
I think I see my mother comin' |
|
She's ridin' many a mile. |
|
Mama, did you bring me silver? |
|
Mama, did you bring me gold? |
|
Did you come to see me hangin' |
|
By the gallows pole? |
|
I didn't bring any silver |
|
Didn't bring you any gold |
|
I come to see you hangin', child |
|
By that gallows pole. |
|
Hangman, hangman, slack your rope |
|
Slack it for a while |
|
I think I see my sweetheart |
|
She's ridin' many a mile. |
|
Honey, did you bring me silver? |
|
Honey, did you bring me gold? |
|
Did you come to see me hangin' |
|
By the gallows pole? |
|
I brought you a little silver |
|
I brought you a little gold |
|
Didn't come to see you hangin' |
|
By that gallows pole. |
|
I brought you a little silver |
|
I brought you a little gold |
|
Didn't come to see you hangin' |
|
By that gallows pole. |
