Song Lyrics
didn t bring no gold
Papa did you bring me gold, riding many a mile oh god, didn t bring no gold
I didn t bring no silver, didn t come to see you hanging, riding many a mile
Hangman slack your rope, think i see my mother coming, honey did you bring me gold
Honey did you bring me silver, honey did you bring me gold
Didn t come to see you hanging, i brought you silver
I brought you silver, by the gallows pole
by the gallows pole
brought you a little gold
Riding many a mile, slack it for awhile Odetta, did you come to see me hang by the gallows pole
I ve come to see you hang by the gallows pole, mama did you bring me silver
Honey did you bring me gold, riding many a mile
Hanging by the gallows pole, riding many a mile
Honey did you bring me gold, papa did you bring me gold Gallows, papa did you bring me gold
honey did you bring me silver
Think i see my father coming, slack it for awhile
Didn t come to see you hanging, brought you a little gold
didn t bring no gold
papa did you bring me gold
By the gallows pole oh god, brought you a little gold
Riding many a mile, riding many a mile
i ve come to see you hang by the gallows pole
Mama did you bring me silver, by the gallows pole
Did you come to see me hanging by the gallows pole, mama did you bring me silver Odetta, honey did you bring me gold
riding many a mile
papa did you bring me gold
I ve come to see you hanging by the gallows pole, hangman slack your rope, hanging by the gallows pole
Didn t come to see you hanging, riding many a mile Gallows, hangman slack your rope
by the gallows pole
papa did you bring me gold
Slack it for awhile, did you come to see me hang by the gallows pole
hangman slack your rope
by the gallows pole
i didn t bring no silver
did you come to see me hang by the gallows pole
i brought you silver
Slack it for awhile, riding many a mile
think i see my mother coming
I ve come to see you hanging by the gallows pole, didn t bring no gold, i brought you silver
