Jimmy & Scots Folk Band - Gallows Pole Lyrics

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
Think I see me friends coming riding a many mile
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
Think I see me friends coming riding a many mile
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
Think I see my friends coming riding a many mile
Friends did you get some silver? Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring, 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 silver, I couldn't get no gold
You know that we're too damn poor to keep you from the gallows pole
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
I think I see my brother coming riding a many mile
Brother, did you get me some silver? Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring, bring my brother to keep me from the gallows pole?
Brother, I brought you some silver I brought a little gold
I brought a little of everythin' to keep you from the gallows pole
Yes, I brought you to keep you from the gallows pole
Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile
I think I see my sister coming riding a many mile, mile, mile
Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand
Take him to some shady bower to save me from the wrath of this old man
Please take him, save me from the wrath of this old man, man
Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile
Pray tell me I'm free to ride, ride for many mile
Oh yes, you got a fine sister, she warmed me blood from cold
She brought me blood to boiling hot to keep you from the gallows pole, pole, pole, yeah
Your brother brought me silver, your sister warmed me soul
Now I laugh and pull so hard and see you swinging on the gallows pole, yeah
Now I laugh and pull so hard and see you swinging on the gallows pole, pole, pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole, swingin' on the gallows pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole, swingin' on the gallows pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, pole pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole, swingin' on the gallows pole, swingin' on the gallows pole
