[Chorus]
Dm
Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack your rope awhile
              G         Bb            Dm
Think I see my brother, ridin' many a mile

[Verse]
Dm
Well, brother, did you bring me silver?
Dm
Brother, did you bring me gold?
                   G
Or did you come to see me

Hangin' from the gallows pole?

[Verse]
Dm
No, I didn't bring you any silver
Dm
No, I didn't bring any gold
              G
I just come to see you
Bb                       Dm
Hangin' from the gallows pole

[Chorus]
Dm
Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack your rope awhile
