Gallows Pole - Led Zeppelin

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while

I think I see my friends 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

D’you get a little gold

What did you bring me, my brother

To keep me from the gallows pole

A-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, man, man, man

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile

Tell me that I’m free to ride

Ride for many mile, mile, ohhh

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 that door

Gonna swing

Swingin' on the gallows pole

Swingin' on the gallows pole

Swingin' on the gallows pole

Swingin' on the gallows pole
