32 AMERICAN BALLADS AND SONGS
No gold for to pay your fine, But I'm just come for to see you hanged, Hanged on the gallows line."
"O you won't love and it's hard to be beloved And it's hard to make up your time,
You have broke the heart of many a true love, True love, but you won't break mine."
"Hangman, hangman, slack up your rope,
0 slack it for a while, I looked over yonder and I see Maw coming,
She's walked for many a long mile."
"Say Maw, say Maw, have you brought me any gold,
Any gold for to pay my fine? " "No sir, no sir, I've brought you no gold,
No gold for to pay your fine, But I'm just come for to see you hanged,
Hanged on the gallows line."
" 0 you won't love and it's hard to be beloved, And it's hard to make up your time,
You have broken the heart of many a true love, True love, but you won't break mine."
