This dirgelike selection plays over a sequence in which Tom (Albert Finney) is framed for an attempted murder charge by his romantic rival Blifil (David Warner). Tom is sentenced to hang until he’s dead and lead to the gallows with the rope already around his neck.
If he swing by the string
He will hear the bell ring
And then there's an end to poor Tommy
He must hang by the noose
Where no hand will cut loose
The rope from the neck of poor Tommy
If he swing
If he swing
If He Swing by the String was written by John Addison.
