Hang Knot |
| Did you ever see a hangman tie a hangknot? |
| Did you ever see a hangman tie a hangknot? |
| I’ve seen it many a time and he winds, he winds |
| After thirteen times he’s got a hangknot |
| Tell me will that hangknot slip, no it will not |
| Will that hangknot slip, no it will not |
| Slip around your neck, but it won’t slip back again |
| Hangknot, hangknot, that hangknot |
| Did you ever lose your father on a hangknot? |
| Did you ever lose your father on a hangknot? |
| They hung him from a pole, and they shot him full of holes |
| Left him there to rot on that hangknot |
| Tell me who makes the laws for that hangknot? |
| Who makes the laws for that hangknot? |
| Who says who will go to the calaboose? |
| Get the hangman’s noose on a hangknot |
| I don’t know who makes the law for that hangknot |
| I don’t know who makes the law for that hangknot |
| But the bones of many a men are whistling in the wind |
| Just because they tied their laws with a hangknot |
