Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
Think I see my friends coming,
Riding a many mile.
Friends, did you get a      silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends,
To keep me from the gallows pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the gallows pole?
I couldn't get no      , I couldn't get no    ,
  know that we're too damn   
 keep you from the       pole.
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
I think I see my       coming,
Riding a many mile.
Brother, did you get me some      ?
Did you get a      gold?
What did you bring me, my brother,
To keep me from the gallows pole?
Brother, I brought you some      ,
brought a little gold,
I       a      of ev'ry thing
To keep you from the gallows    .
  , I brought you to keep you from the gallows pole.
Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile,
I think I see my      coming,
Riding a many mile, mile, mile, mile, mile.
Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand,
Take him to some shady     ,
   me from the wrath of this   ,
     take   ,
   me from the wrath of this man, man.
Hangman,       , upon your face a     ,
   tell me that I'm free to ride,
Ride for many mile, mile, mile.
Oh, yes, you got a fine sister,
She      my blood from cold,
Brought my face to boiling hot
To keep you from the gallows pole,
Your brother brought me      ,
   sister warmed my soul,
But now I laugh and pull so   
  see you        on the gallows pole |  |
