Hangman
Hangman,
Hangman, slack up your rope, oh slack it for a while.
I look down yonder to see Pa comin', he's walked for a many long mile.
Oh Pa, say Pa, have you brung me any gold, any gold to pay my fee?
Or have you walked these many long miles
See me on the hangin' tree?
No son, no son, I ain't brought you any gold, no gold for to pay your fee.
But I just walked these many long miles
See you on the hangin' tree.
Hangman,
Hangman, slack up your rope, oh slack it for a while.
I look down yonder to see Ma comin', she's walked for a many long mile.
Oh Ma, say Ma, have you brung me any gold, any gold to pay my fee?
Or have you walked these many long miles
See me on the hangin' tree?
No son, no son, I ain't brought you any gold, no gold for to pay your fee.
But I just walked these many long miles
See you on the hangin' tree.
Hangman,
Hangman, slack up your rope, oh slack it for a while.
I look down yonder to see my true love comin', she's walked for a many long mile.
Oh true love, say true love, have you brung me any gold, any gold to pay my fee?
Or have you walked these many long miles
See me on the hangin' tree?
Yes love, yes love, I've brung you some gold, some gold for to pay your fee.
And I've just come for to take you home so we can marry thee.
Hangman, slack up your rope, oh slack it for a while.
I look down yonder to see Pa comin', he's walked for a many long mile.
Oh Pa, say Pa, have you brung me any gold, any gold to pay my fee?
Or have you walked these many long miles
See me on the hangin' tree?
No son, no son, I ain't brought you any gold, no gold for to pay your fee.
But I just walked these many long miles
See you on the hangin' tree.
Hangman,
Hangman, slack up your rope, oh slack it for a while.
I look down yonder to see Ma comin', she's walked for a many long mile.
Oh Ma, say Ma, have you brung me any gold, any gold to pay my fee?
Or have you walked these many long miles
See me on the hangin' tree?
No son, no son, I ain't brought you any gold, no gold for to pay your fee.
But I just walked these many long miles
See you on the hangin' tree.
Hangman,
Hangman, slack up your rope, oh slack it for a while.
I look down yonder to see my true love comin', she's walked for a many long mile.
Oh true love, say true love, have you brung me any gold, any gold to pay my fee?
Or have you walked these many long miles
See me on the hangin' tree?
Yes love, yes love, I've brung you some gold, some gold for to pay your fee.
And I've just come for to take you home so we can marry thee.
