Hangman Lyrics by Red Tail Ring

I. Middlewest Chant

0

Hangman slack your line
Slack it just a while
‘Cause I think I see my mama comin’
Traveling many a mile
Traveling many a mile

Daughter I brought you no gold
For to pay that hangman’s fee
But I came to see swingin’ swingin’
High from the hangman’s tree
High from the hangman’s tree

Once I loved you child
I’d hold you while you’d weep
But the devil rocked you in your cradle
He sang you down to sleep
He sang you down to sleep

Mama, I have fallen
Caught in a snared kiss
But the devil sang us a sweet tune
He’s chained me to his wrist
He’s chained me to his wrist

Hangman
Hangman

Hangman slack your line
Slack it just a while
‘Cause I dream I see my mama comin’
Traveling many a mile
Traveling many a mile

You asked me why
I’m always so glad
The devil missed a soul
He thought he had
Oh the wind
Don’t let him blow
Oh the wind
Don’t let him blow

You asked me why
I’m always so glad
The devil missed a soul
He thought he had
Oh the wind
Don’t let him blow
Oh the wind
Don’t let him blow
Oh the wind
Don’t let him blow
Oh the wind
Don’t let him blow
