	Story Behind the Song I first heard this old folk song when I was a kid, and I always liked the rhythm of the guitar and the terse lyrics. Poe and I recorded the rhythm tracks one day quite spontaneously with no programming. Mike came in to the studio later and did the great vocal. Lyrics Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack your rope awhile I think I see my father ridin' many a mile Father did you bring any silver, father did you bring any gold Or did you come to see me hanging from the gallows pole No, I didn't bring any silver, no I didn't bring any gold I just come to see you hangin' from the gallows pole Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack your rope awhile I think I see my mother ridin' many a mile Mother did you bring any silver, mother did you bring any gold Or did you come to see me h anging from the gallows pole No, I couldn't get any silver, no I couldn't get any gold I just came to pray for you hangin' from the gallows pole Hangman, hangman, hangman, slack your rope awhile I think I see my sweetheart ridin' many a mile Honey did y ou bring any silver, honey did you bring any gold Or did you come to see me hanging from the gallows pole Yes, I brought a little silver, Yes, I brought a little gold I didn't come to see you, baby, swingin' from the gallows pole I didn't come to see y ou, hangin' from the gallows pole.
