Hangman lyrics

Slack your rope hangman,

slack it for a while.

I think I see my father comin'

ridin' many a mile.

Father, have you brought me hope?

Or have you paid my fee

Or have you come to see me hangin'

from the gallows tree?

I have not brought you hope.

I have not paid your fee.

Yes I have come to see you hangin'

from the gallows tree.

Slack your rope hangman,

slack it for a while.

I think I see my mother comin'

ridin' many a mile.

Mother, have you brought me hope?

Or have you paid my fee

Or have you come to see me hangin'

from the gallows tree?

I have not brought you hope.

I have not paid your fee.

Yes I have come to see you hangin'

from the gallows tree.

Slack your rope hangman,

slack it for a while.

I think I see my brother comin'

ridin' many a mile.

Brother, have you brought me hope?

Or have you paid my fee?

Or have you come to see me hangin'

from the gallows tree?

I have not brought you hope.

I have not paid your fee.

Yes I have come to see you hangin'

from the gallows tree.

Slack your rope hangman,

slack it for a while.

I think I see my true love comin'

riding' many a mile.

True love have you brought me hope?

Or have you paid my fee?

Or have you come to see me hangin'

from the gallows tree?

Yes I have brought you hope.

Yes I have paid your fee.

For I've not come to see you hangin'

from the gallows tree.
