Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Gallows Pole lyrics

rate me

Hangman, hangman, hangman

slack your rope awhile.

I think I see my father

ridin’ many a mile.

Papa, did you bring any silver?

Papa, did you bring any gold,

Or did you come to see me hang

By the gallows pole?

No, I didn’t bring any silver,

no I didn’t bring any gold.

I came to see you hang boy

By the gallows pole

Hangman, hangman, slack your rope

Slack it for a while

I think I see my mama coming

She’s riding the many miles

Mama did you bring me silver,

mama did you bring me gold?

Did you come to see me hang

By that gallows pole?

Didn’t bring you any silver,

Couldn’t bring you any gold

I came to see you hang child

By the gallows pole

Hangman, hangman, slack your rope

Slack it for a wile

I think I see my sweetheart,

She’s riding the many mile

Honey did you bring me silver

Honey, did you bring me gold?

Or did you come to see me hang

By the gallows pole?

Brought you a little silver

I brought you a little gold

Didn’t come to see you hanging

By that gallows pole

Brought you a little silver

I brought you a little gold

Didn’t come to see you hanging

By that gallows pole.
