Lyrics Gallows Pole - Odetta
Hangman,
hangman
slack
your
rope
Slack
it
for
awhile
Think
I
see
my
father
coming
Riding
many
a
mile
Papa
did
you
bring
me
silver?
Did
you
bring
me
gold?
Did
you
come
to
see
me
hanging
by
the
gallows
pole?
I
didn't
bring
no
silver
Didn't
bring
no
gold
Come
to
see
you
hang
by
the
gallows
pole
Well,
Hangman,
hangman
slack
your
rope
Slack
it
for
awhile
Think
I
see
my
mother
coming
Riding
many
a
mile
Little
mama
did
you
bring
me
silver?
Did
you
bring
me
gold?
Did
you
come
to
see
me
hanging
by
the
gallows
pole?
I
didn't
bring
no
silver
Couldn't
get
no
gold
Come
to
see
you
hang
by
the
gallows
pole
Hangman,
hangman
slack
your
rope
Slack
it
for
awhile
Think
I
see
my
sweetheart
coming
Riding
many
a
mile
Honey
did
you
bring
me
silver?
Did
you
bring
me
gold?
Did
you
come
to
see
me
hang
by
the
gallows
pole?
Hanging
by
the
gallows
pole?
I
brought
you
silver
Brought
you
a
gold
Brought
you
a
little
everything
to
keep
you
from
the
gallows
pole
