Hangman, hangman, slack on the line,
  Slack on the line a little while;
I think I see my father coming,
  With money to pay my fine.
 
O father, father, did you bring me money,
  Money to pay my fine?
Or did you come here to see me die
  On this hangman's line?
 
No, I didn't bring you money,
  Money to pay your fine,
But I just came to see you die,
  Upon this hangman's line.

...I think I see my mother coming...
O mother, mother, did you bring me money...
No, I didn't bring you money...

...I think I see my brother coming...
O brother, brother, did you bring me money...
No, I didn't bring you money...

...I think I see my sister coming...
O sister, sister, did you bring me money...
No, I did't bring you money...

...I think I see my lover coming...
O lover, lover, did you bring me money...
 
True love, I got gold and silver,
  Money to pay your fine;
How could I bear to see you die
  On this hangman's line?
