Great Big Sea - Gallows Pole

Текст песни

Hangman, hangman!
Hold a little while
I think I see my brother coming
Riding many a mile
Brother, did you bring me some silver
Did ya bring a little gold?
What did you bring me, my brother
To save me from the gallows pole?
Save me from the gallows pole?
I brought a little silver
I brought a little gold!
Do you know what?
We’re too damn poor
To keep you from the gallows pole!
To keep you from the gallows pole!
Hangman, hangman!
Turn your head a while
I think I see my sister coming
Riding many a mile
Sister, I implore you!
Take him by the hand
Take him to some shady place
Save me from the wrath of this man
Save me from the wrath of this man!
Hangman, hangman!
Upon your faceless smile
Pre tell me I’m free to ride
Ride for many a mile!
Yes, you got a fine sister
She warmed my blood from cold!
Brought my blood to the boiling point
To keep you from the gallows pole!
To keep you from the gallows pole!
Your brother brought me some silver
Your sister warmed my soul;
But now I laugh and I pull so hard
See you swinging on the gallows pole!
Swinging on the gallows pole!
Swinging on the gallows pole!
Swinging on the gallows pole!
