Neil Young Lyrics
"Gallows Pole"

Hangman, hangman, hangman
slack your rope awhile.
I think I see my father
ridin' many a mile.
Papa, did you bring any silver?
Papa, did you bring any gold,
Or did you come to see me hang
By the gallows pole?
No, I didn't bring any silver,
no I didn't bring any gold.
I came to see you hang boy
By the gallows pole

Hangman, hangman, slack your rope
Slack it for a while
I think I see my mama coming
She's riding the many miles
Mama did you bring me silver,
mama did you bring me gold?
Did you come to see me hang
By that gallows pole?
Didn't bring you any silver,
Couldn't bring you any gold
I came to see you hang child
By the gallows pole

Hangman, hangman, slack your rope
Slack it for a wile
I think I see my sweetheart,
She's riding the many mile
Honey did you bring me silver
Honey, did you bring me gold?
Or did you come to see me hang
By the gallows pole?
Brought you a little silver
I brought you a little gold
Didn't come to see you hanging
By that gallows pole
Brought you a little silver
I brought you a little gold
Didn't come to see you hanging
By that gallows pole.
