Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
I think I see my friends coming, riding many a mile
ย
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?
ย
What did you bring me to keep me from the gallows pole?
ย
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
ย
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
I think I see my brother coming, riding many a mile
ย
Brother, you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my brother, to keep me from the gallows pole?
ย
Brother, I brought you some silver, yeah
I brought a little gold, I brought a little of everything
To keep you from the gallows pole
Yes, I brought you to keep you from the gallows pole
Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile
I think I see my sister coming, riding many mile, mile, mile
ย
Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand
Take him to some shady bower
Save me from the wrath of this man
Please take him, save me from the wrath of this mad, man
Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile
Tell me that I'm free to ride
Ride for many mile, mile, mile
Oh yes, you got a fine sister
She warmed my blood from cold
She warmed my blood to boiling hot to keep you from the gallows pole
Your brother brought me silver, your sister warmed my soul
But now I laugh and pull so hard, see you swinging from the gallows pole
But now I laugh and pull so hard, see you swinging from the gallows pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole!
Swingin' on the gallows pole!
Swingin' on the gallows pole!
Swingin' on the gallows pole
Pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, yeah
Ah-ha-ha
Swingin'
Swingin' on the gallows pole!
ย
I gotta swing!
See-saw marjory daw
ย
I gotta swing!
See-saw knock at my door
I gotta sing
Keep on singing
