Hangman, hangman, slack you line
Slack a 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 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 you line
Slack a just a while
'Cause I think I see my mama comin'
Traveling many a mile
'Mama, mama, did you bring 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 you line
Slack a just a while
'Cause I think I see my lover comin'
Traveling many a mile
'Sweetheart, Sweetheart, did you bring 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 swinging', swinging'
High from this hangman's tree'
