Hangman

Slack your rope hangman, slack it for a while

I think i see my father comin' ridin' many a mile

Father have you brought me hope or have you paid my fee

Or have you come to see me hangin' from the gallows tree?



I have not brought you hope, i have not paid your fee

Yes i have come to see you hangin' from the gallows tree.



Slack your rope hangman, slack it for a while

I think i see my mother comin' ridin' many a mile

Mother have you brought me hope or have you paid my fee

Or have you come to see me hangin' from the gallows tree?



I have not brought you hope, i have not paid your fee

Yes i have come to see you hangin' from the gallows tree.



Slack your rope hangman, slack it for a while

I think i see my brother comin' ridin' many a mile

Brother have you brought me hope or have you paid my fee

Or have you come to see me hangin' from the gallows tree?



I have not brought you hope, i have not paid your fee

Yes i have come to see you hangin' from the gallows tree.



Slack your rope hangman, slack it for a while

I think i see my true love comin' riding' many a mile

True love have you brought me hope or have you paid my fee

Or have you come to see me hangin' from the gallows tree?



Yes i have brought you hope, yes i have paid your fee

For i've not come to see you hangin' from the gallows tree.
