The Gallow's Pole |
| Hangman, hangman slack your rope |
| Slack it for awhile |
| Think I see my father coming |
| Riding many a mile |
| Papa did you bring me silver? |
| Papa did you bring me gold? |
| Did you come to see me hanging by the gallows pole? |
| Well, I couldn’t bring no silver |
| Didn’t bring no gold |
| I’ve come to see you hang by the gallows pole |
| Hangman, hangman slack your rope |
| Slack it for awhile |
| Think I see my mother coming |
| Riding many a mile |
| Riding many a mile |
| Well, Mama did you bring me silver? |
| Mama did you bring me gold? |
| Did you come to see me hang by the gallows pole? |
| I didn’t bring no silver |
| Didn’t bring no gold |
| I’ve come to see you hanging by the gallows pole |
| By the gallows pole — oh God! |
| Hangman, hangman slack your rope |
| Slack it for awhile |
| Think I see my sweetheart coming |
| Riding many a mile |
| Riding many a mile — oh God! |
| Riding many a mile |
| Honey did you bring me silver? |
| Honey did you bring me gold? |
| Did you come to see me hang by the gallows pole? |
| Hanging by the gallows pole? |
| I brought you silver |
| Brought you a little gold |
| Didn’t come to see you hanging |
| By the gallows pole |
| By the gallows pole |
