Verse 1:

Hangman, hold your rope,
and hold it for a while
For I think I see my father coming
on the yonder stile

Father, did you bring me gold?
Or silver to pay my fee,
and to save my body from the cold clay ground,
and my neck from the gallows tree?

No, I didn't bring you gold,
Nor have I brought any fee
For I have come to see you hang
on the gallows tree

Chorus:

O the gallows pole
It grieves my heart so
If I don't make the hangman's fee,
I'll swing from the gallows tree

Verse 2:

Hangman, hold your rope,
and hold it for a while
For I think I see my mother coming
On the yonder stile

Mother, did you bring me gold?
Or silver to pay my fee,
and to save my body from the cold clay ground,
and my neck from the gallows tree?

No, I didn't bring you gold,
Nor have I brought any fee
For I have come to see you hang
on the gallows tree

Chorus x1

Verse 3:

Hangman stay your hand,
and stay it for a while
For I think I see my true love coming,
riding many miles

Lover, did you bring me gold?
Or silver to pay my fee?
Or have you come to see me hang
from the gallows tree?

Yes, I brought you gold,
and silver to pay your fee
For I could not bear to see you hang
from the gallows tree

Chorus x2
