slack it for a while
father have you brought me hope or have you paid my fee
I have not paid your fee, slack it for a while
I think i see my true love comin riding many a mile, or have you come to see me hangin from the gallows tree
I think i see my brother comin ridin many a mile, yes i have come to see you hangin from the gallows tree, slack it for a while

Yes i have come to see you hangin from the gallows tree, or have you come to see me hangin from the gallows tree
