Píseň: Gallows Pole

Interpret:

Album:
Americana (Neil Young & Crazy Horse)
Hangman, hangman, slack your rope
Slack it for a while
I think I see my father 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 the 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 mother 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 the gallows pole?


I didn't bring any silver
Didn't bring you any gold
I come to see you hangin', child
By that gallows pole.


Hangman, hangman, slack your rope
Slack it for a while
I think I see my sweetheart
She'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?


I brought you a little silver
I brought you a little gold
Didn't come to see you hangin'
By that gallows pole.


I brought you a little silver
I brought you a little gold
Didn't come to see you hangin'
By that gallows pole
