Hangman, Hangman, Slack The Rope(Charlie Poole) 
Hangman, hangman, slack the rope Slack it for a while I think I see my father a-coming He’s walked a many a mile 
Oh father, oh father, did you bring me any gold? Have you paid my fee? Have you come to see me hung Here under this gallows tree? 
No, son, no, son, I’ve brought you no gold I’ve not paid your fee I’ve come to see you hung Here under this gallows tree 
Hangman, hangman, slack the rope Slack it for a while I think I see my mother a-coming She’s walked a many a mile 
Oh, mother, oh, mother, did you bring me any gold? Have you paid my fee? Have you come to see me hung Here under this gallows tree? 
No, son, no, son, I’ve brought you no gold I’ve not paid your fee I’ve come to see you hung Here under this gallows tree 
Hangman, hangman, slack the rope Slack it for a while I think I see my true love a-coming She’s walked a many a mile 
Oh, true love, oh, true love, did you bring me any gold? Have you paid my fee? Have you come to see me hung Here under the gallows tree? 
Yes, true love, yes, true love, I have brought you some gold I have paid your fee I have not come to see you hung Here under this gallows tree
