coyote sing along hour, hanging/miscarriage of justice mention
hangman, hangman,
hold it a little while
I think I see my friends comin', ridin' many miles.
Friends, you get a little silver?
You get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends,
to keep me from the gallus pole?
We didn't get no silver!
We didn't get you no gold!
Don't you know we're too damn poor to keep you from the gallus pole?
re: coyote sing along hour, even more songs about hangings
My name it is Jack Hall
Jack Hall!
My name it is Jack Hall
and I've robbed both great and small,
but my neck shall pay the wrong, when I die, when I die!
My neck shall pay the wrong when I die!
I've twenty thousand stolen, that's not all!
I've twenty thousand stolen, that's not all!
I've twenty thousand stolen, and I'd kill for twenty more,
but my neck shall pay the wrong, when I die, when I die!
My neck shall pay the wrong when I die!
I rolled up Tyburn Hill in a cart, in a cart!
I rolled up Tyburn Hill in a cart, in a cart!
I rolled up Tyburn Hill, it was there I made my will,
sayin' "The best of men must part, so farewell, so farewell!"
Sayin' "The best of men must part, so farewell!"
Up the ladder I did go, that's no joke!
Up the ladder I did go, that's no joke!
Up the ladder I did go, where the hangman spread his rope,
oh, but never a word I spoke comin' down, comin' down!
Oh, but never a word I spoke comin' down!
