john jacob niles - the maid freed from the gallows lyrics

Loading...

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’
