Hangman, Hangman in 1796

1 post in this topic

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,

I think I see my brother coming, riding many a mile.

Brother, did you get me some silver?

Did you get a little gold?

What did you bring me, my brother, to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

 

Brother, I brought you some silver, yah

I brought a little gold, I brought a little of everything

To keep you from the Gallows Pole.

Yes, I brought you to keep you from the Gallows Pole.

 

Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile,

I think I see my sister coming, riding many a mile, mile, mile, mile.

Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand,

Take him to some shady bower, save me from the wrath of this man,

Please take him, save me from the wrath of this mad man.

 

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile,

Tell me that I'm free to ride,

Ride for many a mile, mile, mile.

 

Oh, yes, you got a fine sister, She warmed my blood from cold,

She brought my blood to boiling hot, To keep you from the Gallows Pole, Pole, Pole, Pole, yeah, yeah

Your brother brought me silver, Your sister warmed my soul,

But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole, yah

But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole, Pole, Pole

 

 

Swingin' on the Gallows Pole!

Swingin' on the Gallows Pole, Pole, Pole, Pole, Pole, Pole, Pole, yeah
