[Intro]

[Verse 1]
G C
I will go to the gallows at sunrise
F C
They say I am going to hang
F C
Through the opening will fall my young body
D7 G7
On the end of a rope I will swing
[Verse 2]
C G7 C C7
My pals have all died on the gallows
F F7
And I am awaiting my time
F C
If you wander astray in the struggle
G7 C
Your life will be wasted like mine
[Verse 3]
F C
I think of my heartbroken mother
D7 G7
Her pleadings have all been in vain
C C7 F
She suffered to rear me from childhood
D7 G7
And now I'm her sorrow and shame
[Verse 4]
C G7 C7
Young man don't sin to your sorrow
F F7
Don't shatter your dear mothers name
F C
My pals have all gone on before me
G7 C
And I am a lad left in pain

[Verse 5]
G7 C C7
No more will the boys gather round me
F C
The pals that I love have gone on
F C
I will die when the new day is dawning
D7 G7
To pay for the deeds I've done wrong
[Verse 6]
C G7 C C7
Alone I will die on the gallows
F F7
Alone I will cross the divide
F C
But bury me there by my sweetheart
G7 C
To sleep through the years by her side
[Verse 7]
F C
Dear mother it's soon I'll be going
D G7
Oh mother I'll go with the dawn
C7 F
The bright stars are now dimmer growing
D7 G7
Dear mother my time won't be long
[Verse 8]
C G7 C
Oh mother I know how you love me
F F7
But mother I'm going to hang
F C
My pals have all gone on before me
G7 C
I guess I have played my last game
