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!
