Текст песни: Gallows Pole + перевод

Wait a little while hangman

Wait a little while and see

I think I see my father coming way across the sea

Father did you bring me silver?

Father did you bring some gold?

What did you bring me dear father

To keep me from the Gallows Pole?

I didn’t bring no silver

I didn’t bring no gold

I come to see you hanging

From the Gallows Pole

So wait a little while hangman

Wait a little while and see

I think I see my mother coming

From way across the sea

Mother did you bring me silver?

Mother did you bring some gold?

Did you come to see me hanging

From the Gallows Pole?

I didn’t bring no silver

Didn’t bring no gold

I come to see you swinging

From the Gallows Pole

Yes

You’re swinging

Yes

From the Gallows Pole

Yes

You’re swinging

Yes

From the Gallows Pole

Slack up your rope hangman

Slack it for a while

I think I see my own true lover

Riding many miles

So lover did you bring me silver?

Lover did you bring some gold?

Did you come to see me hanging

From the Gallows Pole?

Oh yes I brought you silver

I brought a little gold

Brought a little of everything

To keep you from the Gallows Pole

Yes

I brought it

Yes

To keep you from the Gallows Pole

Yes

I brought it

Yes

To keep you from the Gallows Pole
