HANGMAN or THE PRICKILIE BUSH



Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack you rope a while

I think I see my father coming over yonder style



Father did you bring me silver; father did you bring me gold

Or did you come to see me hang, hang on the gallows bold



No, I didn't bring you silver, no, I didn't bring you gold

I have come for to see you hang, hang on the gallows bold



Oh, the prickilie bush, it grieves my heart full sore

If I ever get out of the prickilie bush, I'll never get in it any

more



Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack you rope a while

I think I see my mother coming over yonder style



Mother did you bring me silver; mother did you bring me gold

Or did you come to see me hang, hang on the gallows bold



No, I didn't bring you silver, no, I didn't bring you gold

I have come for to see you hang, hang on the gallows bold



Oh, the prickilie bush, it grieves my heart full sore

If I ever get out of the prickilie bush, I'll never get in it any

more



Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack you rope a while

I think I see my brother coming over yonder style



Brother did you bring me silver; brother did you bring me gold

Or did you come to see me hang, hang on the gallows bold



No, I didn't bring you silver, no, I didn't bring you gold

I have come for to see you hang, hang on the gallows bold



Oh, the prickilie bush, it grieves my heart full sore

If I ever get out of the prickilie bush, I'll never get in it any

more



Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack you rope a while

I think I see my sweetheart coming over yonder style



Sweetheart did you bring me silver; Sweetheart did you bring me gold

Or did you come to see me hang, hang on the gallows bold



Yes, I Brought you silver and yes, I brought you gold

I did not come for to see you hang, hang on the gallows bold



Oh, the prickilie bush, it grieves my heart full sore

Now that I am out of the prickilie bush, I'll never get in it any
