Gallows Pole (Remaster)

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
I think I see my friends comin', ridin' many a mile

Friends, you get some 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 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 comin', ridin' many a mile

Brother, 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, yeah
I brought a little gold
I brought a little of everything 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 comin', ridin' many a mile, mile, mile, mile

Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand
Take him to some shady bower
Save me from the wrath of this man
Please take him, save me from the wrath of this madman

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile
Tell me that I'm free to ride
Ride for many a mile, mile, mile

Oh, yes, you got a fine sister
She warmed my blood from cold
She warmed my blood to boilin' hot
To keep you from the gallows pole, pole, pole, pole, yeah-yeah

Your brother brought me silver
And your sister warmed my soul
But now I laugh and pull so hard
See you swingin' on the gallows pole, yeah
