• The Hangman

-"Hangman, hangman slack your line,
Slack it just a while,
Cause I think I see my Papa comin',
Traveling many a mile.
Traveling many a mile."

- "Papa, Papa, has you brought gold
For to pay this hangman's fee?
Or did you come to see me swingin'
High from this hangman's tree?"

-"Daughter, daughter, I brought you no gold
For to pay this hangman's fee,
But i come to see you swingin', swingin'
High from this hangman's tree."

-"Hangman, hangman slack your line,
Slack it just a while,
Cause I think I see my mama comin',
Traveling many a mile."

- "Mama, Mama, has you brought gold
For to pay this hangman's fee?
Or did you come to see me swingin'
High from this hangman's tree?"

-"Daughter, daughter, I brought you no gold
For to pay this hangman's fee,
But i come to see you swingin', swingin'
High from this hangman's tree."

-"Hangman, hangman slack your line,
Slack it just a while,
Cause I think I see my lover comin',
Traveling many a mile."

- "Sweetheart, sweetheart, has you brought gold
For to pay this hangman's fee?
Or did you come to see me swingin'
High from this hangman's tree?"

-"Darling, darling, I brought you that gold
For to pay this hangman's fee,
Cause I don't want to see you swingin',
swingin'
High from no hangman's tree."
