Hangman hangman hold it a little while
Think I see my friends coming
Riding a many mile.
Friends, did you get a little 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 coming
Riding a many mile.
Brother did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring my my brother
To keep me from the Gallows Pole?
Brother, I brought you some silver
I brought a little gold
I brought a little of ev'ry thing
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 coming
Riding a many mile 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 man man.
Hangman, hangman upon your face a smile
Pray tell me that I'm free to ride
Ride for many mile mile mile.
Oh yes you got a fine sister
She warmed my blood from cold
Brought my face to boiling hot
To keep you from the Gallows Pole
Your brother brought me silver
Your sister warmed my soul
But now I laugh and pull so hard
And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole

- Lots of string muting in the G A G A part
- I play the G A G A part by barring the A (x02222)
with my index finger leave the A string (string 5)
open and tap the G note with my middle finger.
- Start the first verse after the 4th repeat of intro
so Hangman would come in on repeat 5.
- Listen to the song to get timing
- I also broke the song up into verses to make it
easier to keep track. The way I broke them up
may not be the way it was originally written

Hangman hangman hold it a little while
Think I see my friends coming
Riding a many mile.
Friends, did you get a little 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 coming
Riding a many mile.
Brother did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring my my brother
To keep me from the Gallows Pole?
Brother, I brought you some silver
I brought a little gold
I brought a little of ev'ry thing
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 coming
Riding a many mile 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 man man.
Hangman, hangman upon your face a smile
Pray tell me that I'm free to ride
Ride for many mile mile mile.
Oh yes you got a fine sister
She warmed my blood from cold
Brought my face to boiling hot
To keep you from the Gallows Pole
Your brother brought me silver
Your sister warmed my soul
But now I laugh and pull so hard
And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
Think I see my friends coming
Riding a many mile
Friends did 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 coming
Riding a many mile
Brother, did 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
I brought a little gold,
I brought a little of everythin
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 coming
Riding a many 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 man, man
Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile
Pray tell me that I'm free to ride
Ride for many mile, mile, mile
Oh, yes, you got a fine sister
She warmed my blood from cold
She brought my blood to boiling hot
To keep you from the gallows pole, pole, pole, pole, yeah
Your brother brought me silver
Your sister warmed my soul
But now I laugh and pull so hard
And see you swinging on the gallows pole, yeah
But now I laugh and pull so hard
And see you swinging on the gallows pole, pole, pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, pole
