Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
|
I think I see my friends coming
|
Ridin' many mile
|
So friends, you get some silver
|
Did you get a little gold
|
What did you bring me, my dear friends
|
To keep me from the gallows pole
|
What did you bring me to keep me from the gallows pole
|
|
I couldn't get no silver, I couldn't get no gold
|
You know that we're too damn poor
|
To keep you from the gallows pole
|

|

|
Riding' many mile, oh, whoo yeah

|
Take him to some shady palace
|
Save me from the wrath of this man
|
Please take him
|
Save me from the wrath of this man, man, man, man, man, man

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile
|
Tell me that I'm free to ride

To keep you from the gallows pole
