Lyrics Hangman - The Kingston Trio

Hangman

Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack your rope a while.
Think I see my brother,
ridin’many a mile.
Well, brother, did you bring me silver?
Brother, did you bring me gold
Or did you come to see me hangin’from the gallows poles?
No, I didn’t bring you any silver.
No, I didn’t bring any gold.
I just come to see you hangin’from the gallows pole.
Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack your rope a while.
Think I see my father,
ridin’many a mile.
Well, father did you bring me any silver?
Father, did you bring me any gold
Or did you come to see me hangin’from the gallows poles?
No, I didn’t bring you any silver.
No, I didn’t bring any gold.
I just come to see you hangin’from the gallows pole.
Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack your rope a while.
Think I see my sweetheart,
ridin’many a mile.
Well, sweetheart did you bring any silver?
Sweetheart, did you bring a little
gold
Or did you come to see me hangin’from the gallows pole?
Yes, I brought a little silver.
Yes, I brought a little gold.
I didn’t come to see you hangin’from the gallows pole.
