Gallows Pole |
| Hangman, hangman! |
| Hold a little while |
| I think I see my brother coming |
| Riding many a mile |
| Brother, did you bring me some silver |
| Did ya bring a little gold? |
| What did you bring me, my brother |
| To save me from the gallows pole? |
| Save me from the gallows pole? |
| I brought a little silver |
| I brought a little gold! |
| Do you know what? |
| We’re too damn poor |
| To keep you from the gallows pole! |
| To keep you from the gallows pole! |
| Hangman, hangman! |
| Turn your head a while |
| I think I see my sister coming |
| Riding many a mile |
| Sister, I implore you! |
| Take him by the hand |
| Take him to some shady place |
| Save me from the wrath of this man |
| Save me from the wrath of this man! |
| Hangman, hangman! |
| Upon your faceless smile |
| Pre tell me I’m free to ride |
| Ride for many a mile! |
| Yes, you got a fine sister |
| She warmed my blood from cold! |
| Brought my blood to the boiling point |
| To keep you from the gallows pole! |
| To keep you from the gallows pole! |
| Your brother brought me some silver |
| Your sister warmed my soul; |
| But now I laugh and I pull so hard |
| See you swinging on the gallows pole! |
| Swinging on the gallows pole! |
| Swinging on the gallows pole! |
| Swinging on the gallows pole! |
