Hangman, hangman slack your rope, |
Slack it for a while.
A7 | D7 |
Think I see my | father comin', |
F7 | Am |
Ridin' many a | mile. |
Papa, did you bring me silver ?
Papa, did you bring me gold ?
Did you come to see me hangin'
By the gallows pole ?
Well, I couldn't bring no silver,
I didn't bring no gold.
I come to see you hangin'
By the gallows pole.
Hangman, hangman, slack your rope,
Slack it for a while,
Think I see my mother comin',
Ridin' many a mile, etc.
Hangman, hangman, slack your rope,
Slack it for a while,
Think I see my sweetheart comin',
Ridin' many a mile.
Honey, did you bring me silver?
Honey, did you bring me gold ?
Did you come to see me hangin'
By the gallows pole ?
I brought you silver,
Brought you a little gold,
Didn't come to see you hangin'
By the gallows pole.
