The Maid Freed From The Gallows Lyrics – John Jacob Niles
Singer: John Jacob Niles
Title: The Maid Freed From The Gallows
Hangman, hangman, slack you line
Slack a just a while
’cause i think i see my papa comin’
Traveling many a mile
Traveling many a mile
‘papa, papa, has you brought gold
For to pay this hangman’s fee?
Or did you come to see me swingin’
High from this hangman’s tree?’
‘daughter, daughter, i brought no gold
For to pay this hangman’s fee
But i come to see you swingin’, swingin’
High from this hangman’s tree.’
Hangman, hangman, slack you line
Slack a just a while
’cause i think i see my mama comin’
Traveling many a mile
‘mama, mama, did you bring gold
For to pay this hangman’s fee?
Or did you come to see me swingin’
High from this hangman’s tree?’
‘daughter, daughter, i brought you no gold
For to pay this hangman’s fee
But i come to see you swingin’, swingin’
High from this hangman’s tree.’
Hangman, hangman, slack you line
Slack a just a while
’cause i think i see my lover comin’
Traveling many a mile
‘sweetheart, sweetheart, did you bring gold
For to pay this hangman’s fee?
Or did you come to see me swingin’
High from this hangman’s tree?’
‘darling, darling, i brought you that gold
For to pay this hangman’s fee
’cause i don’t want to see you swinging’, swinging’
High from this hangman’s tree’
