Gallows Pole - Neil Young

Hangman hangman slack your rope

Slack it for a while

I think I see my father comin

Ridin many a mile

Papa did you bring me silver

Papa did you bring me gold

Did you come to see me hangin

By the gallows pole

I couldn't bring no silver

Didn't bring no gold

I came to see you hangin boy

By the gallows pole

Hangman hangman slack your rope

Slack it for a while

I think I see my mother comin

She's ridin many a mile

Mama did you bring me silver

Mama did you bring me gold

Did you come to see me hangin

By the gallows pole

I didn't bring any silver

Didn't bring you any gold

I come to see you hangin child

By that gallows pole

Hangman hangman slack your rope

Slack it for a while

I think I see my sweetheart

She's ridin many a mile

Honey did you bring me silver

Honey did you bring me gold

Did you come to see me hangin

By the gallows pole

I brought you a little silver

I brought you a little gold

Didn't come to see you hangin

By that gallows pole

I brought you a little silver

I brought you a little gold

Didn't come to see you hangin

By that gallows pole
