Kingston Trio - Hangman Lyrics

Nick Reynolds/Adam Yagodka



Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack your rope a while. Think I see my brother, ridin' many a mile.

Well, brother, did you bring me silver? Brother, did you bring me gold

Or did you come to see me hangin' from the gallows poles?



No, I didn't bring you any silver. No, I didn't bring any gold. I just come to see you hangin' from the gallows pole.



Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack your rope a while. Think I see my father, ridin' many a mile.

Well, father did you bring me any silver? Father, did you bring me any gold

Or did you come to see me hangin' from the gallows poles?



No, I didn't bring you any silver. No, I didn't bring any gold. I just come to see you hangin' from the gallows pole.



Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack your rope a while. Think I see my sweetheart, ridin' many a mile.



Well, sweetheart did you bring any silver? Sweetheart, did you bring a little gold

Or did you come to see me hangin' from the gallows pole?



Yes, I brought a little silver. Yes, I brought a little gold. I didn't come to see you hangin' from the gallows pole.
