Peter, Paul & Mary - Hangman Lyrics

Slack your rope hangman, slack it for a while I think I see my father comin’ ridin’ many a mile Father have you brought me hope or have you paid my fee Or have you come to see me hangin’ from the gallows tree? I have not brought you hope, I have not paid your fee Yes I have come to see you hangin’ from the gallows tree. Slack your rope hangman, slack it for a while I think I see my mother comin’ ridin’ many a mile Mother have you brought me hope or have you paid my fee Or have you come to see me hangin’ from the gallows tree? I have not brought you hope, I have not paid your fee Yes I have come to see you hangin’ from the gallows tree. Slack your rope hangman, slack it for a while I think I see my brother comin’ ridin’ many a mile Brother have you brought me hope or have you paid my fee Or have you come to see me hangin’ from the gallows tree? I have not brought you hope, I have not paid your fee Yes I have come to see you hangin’ from the gallows tree. Slack your rope hangman, slack it for a while I think I see my true love comin’ riding’ many a mile True love have you brought me hope or have you paid my fee Or have you come to see me hangin’ from the gallows tree? Yes I have brought you hope, yes I have paid your fee For I’ve not come to see you hangin’ from the gallows tree. Peter, Paul & Mary Lyrics Hangman Lyrics
