The Gallows Pole
(originale)
Hangman, hangman slack your rope
Slack it for awhile
Think I see my father coming
Riding many a mile
Papa did you bring me silver?
Papa did you bring me gold?
Did you come to see me hanging by the gallows pole?
Well, I couldn’t bring no silver
Didn’t bring no gold
I’ve come to see you hang by the gallows pole
Hangman, hangman slack your rope
Slack it for awhile
Think I see my mother coming
Riding many a mile
Riding many a mile
Well, Mama did you bring me silver?
Mama did you bring me gold?
Did you come to see me hang by the gallows pole?
I didn’t bring no silver
Didn’t bring no gold
I’ve come to see you hanging by the gallows pole
By the gallows pole — oh God!
Hangman, hangman slack your rope
Slack it for awhile
Think I see my sweetheart coming
Riding many a mile
Riding many a mile — oh God!
Riding many a mile
Honey did you bring me silver?
Honey did you bring me gold?
Did you come to see me hang by the gallows pole?
Hanging by the gallows pole?
I brought you silver
Brought you a little gold
Didn’t come to see you hanging
By the gallows pole
By the gallows pole
(traduzione)
Boia, boia, allenta la corda
Slaccialo per un po'
Penso di vedere mio padre arrivare
Percorrendo molti miglio
Papà mi hai portato l'argento?
Papà mi hai portato l'oro?
Sei venuto a vedermi appeso al palo della forca?
Bene, non potevo portare niente argento
Non ha portato oro
Sono venuto per vederti appeso al palo della forca
