Hey hangman you want gold, give me some more time
You see my father there, he’ll make it all worthwhile
Son, I bring no silver and none of they say you steal
You know I have nothing to help you get out free
Hey hangman have mercy, wait half a day and don’t worry
My rich friend will bring you as much as he can carry!
He’ll bring you a bit of silver, he’ll bring you some gold!
He’ll bring you a little something, that’ll mean to you the world!
Hey play on time my dear father, hold the hangman still
that’s the friend right there, he struck a great deal!
Finally you bring silver, whatever gold you’ve fraud’
laying low, hustling to save me from getting hang’d
From me you get no silver, I’m not giving you gold
I’ve come here just for fun, to see you dance on the gallows!
From me you get no silver, I’m not giving you no gold
I’m just dropping by; to see you hanged is all I want!
He’s come here just to see me hanged
God help me, he wants to see me hanged!
he wants to see me hanged!
he wants to see me hanged!
he wants to see me hanged!
