作曲 : Traditional
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
I think I see my friends coming ridin' many mile

Friends, d' you get some silver
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends
To keep me from the gallows pole?

What did you bring me
To keep me from the gallows pole?

I couldn't get no silver
I couldn't get no gold
You know that we're too damn poor
To keep you from the gallows pole

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
I think I see my brother coming, ridin' many mile

Brother, did you get me some silver
Did you get a little gold?
A-what did you bring me, my brother
T' keep me from the gallows pole?

Brother, I brought you some silver, yeah
I brought a little gold,
I brought a little of everything
To keep you from the gallows pole

Yes, I brought you to keep me from the gallows pole

Hangman, hangman, turn your head a while
I think I see my sister coming
Ridin' many mile, mile, mile, mile

Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand
Take him to some shady palace
Save me from the wrath of this man

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

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile
Tell me that
I'm free to ride
Ride for many mile, mile, mile

Oh, yes, you got a fine sister
She warmed my blood from cold
She warmed 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
See you swinging on the gallows pole, yeah

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
Swingin' on the gallows pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole
Pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, pole
