Hangman

[Verse 1]
Hangman, hangman
Slack up your rope, oh, slack it for a while
I look down yonder and I seen Pa comin'
He's walked for a many long mile

[Verse 2]
Oh Pa, say Pa
Have you brung me any gold, any gold to pay my fee?
Or have you walked these many long miles
See me on the hangin' tree?

[Verse 3]
No son, no son
I ain't brung you no gold, no gold for to pay your fee
But I just walked these many long miles
See you on the hangin' tree

[Verse 4]
Hangman, hangman
Slack up your rope, oh, slack it for a while
I look down yonder and I seen Ma comin'
She's walked for a many long mile

[Verse 5]
Oh Ma, say Ma
Have you brung me any gold, any gold to pay my fee?
Or have you walked these many long miles
See me on the hangin' tree?

[Verse 6]
No son, no son
Ain't brung you no gold, no gold for to pay your fee
But I just walked these many long miles
See you on the hangin' tree

[Verse 7]
Hangman, hangman
Slack up your rope, oh, slack it for a while
I look down yondеr and I seen my true love comin'
She's walkеd for a many long mile

[Verse 8]
Oh true love, say true love
Have you brung me any gold, any gold to pay my fee?
Or have you walked these many long miles
See me on the hangin' tree?

[Verse 9]
Yes love, yes love
I've brung you some gold, some gold for to pay your fee
And I've just come for to take you home
So we can married be
