Hangman Lyrics
Slack your rope, hangman, slack it for awhile,
I think I see my father coming riding many a mile,
father, have you brought me hope, or have you paid my fee,
or have you come to see me hanging from the gallow's tree.
I have not brought you hope, I have not paid your fee,
yes, I have come to see you hanging from the gallow's tree.
Slack your rope, hangman, slack it for awhile,
I think I see my mother coming riding many a mile,
mother, have you brought me hope, or have you paid my fee
or have you come to see me hanging from the gallow's tree.
I have not brought you hope, I have not paid your fee,
yes, I have come to see you hanging from the gallow's tree.
Slack your rope, hangman, slack it for awhile,
I think I see my brother coming riding many a mile,
brother, have you brought me hope, or have you paid my fee,
or have you come to see me hanging from the gallow's tree.
I have not brought you hope, I have not paid your fee,
yes, I have come to see you hanging from the gallow's tree.
Slack your rope, hangman, slack it for awhile,
I think I see my true love coming riding many a mile,
true love, have you brought me hope, or have you paid my fee,
or have you come to see me hanging from the gallow's tree.
Yes, I have brought you hope, yes, I have paid your fee,
for I've not come to see you hanging from the gallow's tree.
I think I see my father coming riding many a mile,
father, have you brought me hope, or have you paid my fee,
or have you come to see me hanging from the gallow's tree.
yes, I have come to see you hanging from the gallow's tree.
I think I see my mother coming riding many a mile,
mother, have you brought me hope, or have you paid my fee
or have you come to see me hanging from the gallow's tree.
yes, I have come to see you hanging from the gallow's tree.
I think I see my brother coming riding many a mile,
brother, have you brought me hope, or have you paid my fee,
or have you come to see me hanging from the gallow's tree.
yes, I have come to see you hanging from the gallow's tree.
I think I see my true love coming riding many a mile,
true love, have you brought me hope, or have you paid my fee,
or have you come to see me hanging from the gallow's tree.
for I've not come to see you hanging from the gallow's tree.
