Odetta - The Gallows Pole

Hangman, hangman slack your rope

slack it for awhile

Think I see my father coming

Riding a 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 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 a many a mile

Riding a many a mile

Well, mama did you bring me silver?

Mama, did you bring me gold?

Did you come to see me hanging by the gallows pole?

I didn't bring no silver

Couldn't bring no gold

I come to see you hanging by the gallows pole

By the gallows pole, oh God

Hangman, hangman slack your rope

Slack it for awhile

Think I see my sweetheart coming

Riding a many a mile

Riding a many a mile, oh God

Riding a many a mile

Honey did you bring me silver?

Honey, did you bring me gold?

Did you come to see me hanging 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
