Hangman hangman slack your rope

Slack it for awhile

Think I see my father coming

Riding many a mile

Papa did you bring me silver

Papa did you bring me gold

Did you come to see me hanging

By the gallows pole

I couldn't bring no silver

Didn't bring no gold

I've come to see you hang

By the gallows pole

Hangman hangman slack your rope

Slack it for awhile

Think I see my mother coming

Riding many a mile

Riding many a mile

Well Mama did you bring me silver

Mama did you bring me gold

Did you come to see me hang

By the gallows pole

I didn't bring no silver

Didn't bring no gold

I've come to see you hanging

By the gallows pole

By the gallows pole you gold

Hangman hangman slack your rope

Slack it for awhile

Think I see my sweetheart coming

Riding many a mile

Riding many a mile you gold

Riding many a mile

Honey did you bring me silver

Honey did you bring me gold

Did you come to see me hang

By the gallows pole

Hanging by the gallows pole

I brought you silver

Brought you a little gold

Didn't come to see you hanging

By the gallows pole

By the gallows pole
