Gallow's Pole Lyrics - Singles - Page & Plant

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while 

I think I see my friend's coming 

Ridin' many mile 

So friends, 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 

Ridin' many mile 

Brother, did you get me some silver 

Do 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 everything 

To keep you from the gallows pole 

Yes, I brought you to keep me from the gallows pole 

Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile 

I think I see my sister coming 

Riding' many mile, oh, whoo yeah 

Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand 

Take him to some shady palace 

Save me from the wrath of this man, please take him 

Save me from the wrath of this man, man, man 

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile 

Tell me that I'm free to ride 

Ride for many mile, mile, ohh 

Oh, yes, you got a fine sister 

She warmed my blood from cold 

She warmed my blood to boiling hot 

To keep you from the gallows pole 

Your brother, he 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 

'Cause now I laugh and pull so hard 

And see you swinging on the gallows pole 

Swingin' on the gallows pole 

Swingin' on the gallows pole 

Swingin' on the gallows pole 

Swingin' on the gallows pole, whoo 

I keep swingin', I keep swingin', I keep swingin' 

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah 

See-saw, march to that door, oh, swing 

See-saw, march to my door, gonna swing 

Swingin' on the gallows pole 

Swingin' on the gallows pole 

Swingin' on the gallows pole 

Swingin' on the gallows pole
