Текст песни Hangman (The Gallows Pole) (Live In London 1965) - Peter, Paul and Mary

Slack your rope Hangman
Slack it for a while
I think I see my Father coming, riding many a mile
Father have you brought me hope?
Or have you paid my fee?
Or have you come to see me hanging
From the Gallows Tree?

I have not brought you hope, I have not paid your fee
Yes I have come to see you hanging
From the Gallows Tree

Slack your rope Hangman
Slack it for a while
I think I see my Mother coming, riding many a mile
Mother have you brought me hope?
Or have you paid my fee?
Or have you come to see me hanging
From the Gallows Tree?

I have not brought you hope, I have not paid your fee
Yes I have come to see you hanging
From the Gallows Tree

Slack your rope Hangman
Slack it for a while
I think I see my Brother coming, riding many a mile
Brother have you brought me hope?
Or have you paid my fee?
Or have you come to see me hanging
From the Gallows Tree?

I have not brought you hope, I have not paid your fee
Yes I have come to see you hanging
From the Gallows Tree

Slack your rope Hangman
Slack it for a while
I think I see my True Love coming, riding many a mile
True Love have you brought me hope?
Or have you paid my fee?
Or have you come to see me hanging
From the Gallows Tree?

Yes I have brought you hope, Yes I have paid your fee
For I've not come to see you hanging
From the Gallows Tree
