Ivanhoe the Band - (The Maiden Freed From) The Gallows Pole

Hangman, hangman
Hold it a little while
I Think I see my father coming
Riding a many mile
Father did you bring me some silver?
Did you bring a little gold?
What did you bring me, my father
To keep me from the Gallows Pole?
I couldn't get no silver
I didn't get no gold
You know that we're too damn poor
To save you from the Gallows Pole
Hangman, hangman
Hold it a little while
I think I see my brother coming
Riding a many mile
Did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, 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 everything
To keep you from the Gallows Pole
Hangman, hangman
Hold it a little while awhile
I think I see my friends coming
Riding a many mile
Friends did you bring me some silver?
Did you bring a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends
To keep me from the Gallows Pole?
We brought you some silver
We brought a little gold
We brought a little of everything
To keep you from the Gallows Pole
Hangman, hangman
Upon your face a smile
I brought you a little of everything
Tell me that I'm free to ride
Hangman, hangman
Upon your face a smile
I brought you a little of everything
Tell me that I'm free to ride
From gallows pole
The gallows pole
Gallows pole
