Bandits movie - Gallows Pole lyrics

Song by Jimmy Page & Robert Plant<br /><br>

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while, <br>

Think I see my friends coming, Riding a many mile. <br>

Friends, did you get some silver? <br>

Did you get a little gold? <br>

What did you bring me, my dear friends, To keep me from the Gallows Pole? <br>

What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole? <br>

<br>

I couldn't get no silver, I couldn't get no gold, <br>

You know that we're too damn poor to keep you from the Gallows Pole. <br>

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while, <br>

I think I see my brother coming, riding a many mile. <br>

Brother, did you get me some silver? <br>

Did you get a little gold? <br>

What did you bring me, my brother, to keep me from the Gallows Pole? <br>

<br>

Brother, I brought you some silver, <br>

I brought a little gold, I brought a little of everything <br>

To keep you from the Gallows Pole. <br>

Yes, I brought you to keep you from the Gallows Pole. <br>

<br>

Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile, <br>

I think I see my sister coming, riding a many mile, mile, mile. <br>

Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand, <br>

Take him to some shady bower, save me from the wrath of this man, <br>

Please take him, save me from the wrath of this man, man. <br>

<br>

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile, <br>

Pray tell me that I'm free to ride, <br>

Ride for many mile, mile, mile. <br>

<br>

Oh, yes, you got a fine sister, She warmed my blood from cold, <br>

Brought my blood to boiling hot To keep you from the Gallows Pole, <br>

Your brother brought me silver, Your sister warmed my soul, <br>

But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole <br>

<br>

Swingin' on the gallows pole!<br>

<br>
