Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Gallows Pole Lyrics

Neil Young & Crazy Horse Lyrics

"Gallows Pole"

Hangman, hangman slack your rope, slack it for a while
I think I see my papa comin', ridin' many a mile
Papa did you bring me silver? Papa, did you bring me gold?
Did you come to see me hangin' by that gallows pole?
I couldn't bring no silver, didn't bring no gold
I came to see you hangin' boy by the gallows pole

Hangman, hangman, slack your rope, slack it for a while
I think I see my mama comin', she's ridin' many a mile
Mama, did you bring me silver? Mama, did you bring me gold?
Did you come to see me hangin' by that gallows pole?
I didn't bring any silver, couldn't bring you any gold
I came to see you hangin' child by the gallows pole

Hangman, hangman, slack your rope, slack it for a while
I think I see my sweetheart, he's ridin' many a mile
Honey, did you bring me silver? Honey, did you bring me gold?
Did you come to see me hangin' by the gallows pole?
Brought you a little silver, I brought you a little gold
Didn't come to see you hangin' by that gallows pole
Brought you a little silver, I brought you a little gold
Didn't come to see you hangin' by that gallows pole
