Gallows Pole

Hangman, hangman, slack your rope Slack it for a while I think I see my father comin' Ridin' many a mile. Papa, did you bring me silver? Papa, did you bring me gold Did you come to see me hangin' By the gallows pole? I couldn't bring no silver Didn't bring no gold I came to see you hangin', boy By the gallows pole. Hangman, hangman, slack your rope Slack it for a while I think I see my mother comin' She's ridin' many a mile. Mama, did you bring me silver? Mama, did you bring me gold? Did you come to see me hangin' By the gallows pole? I didn't bring any silver Didn't bring you any gold I come to see you hangin', child By that gallows pole. Hangman, hangman, slack your rope Slack it for a while I think I see my sweetheart She's ridin' many a mile. Honey, did you bring me silver? Honey, did you bring me gold? Did you come to see me hangin' By the gallows pole? I brought you a little silver I brought you a little gold Didn't come to see you hangin' By that gallows pole. I brought you a little silver I brought you a little gold Didn't come to see you hangin' By that gallows pole.
