Hangman

Hold up your hand, Oh Joshuay, she said.
Wait a while and see.
I thought I saw my dear old father
Come crossing over the sea.

Do you have any money for me,
Or gold for to pay my fee.
For I have stole a silvery cup,
And hanged up I'm a'gonna be.

I don't have any money for you,
Nor gold for to pay your fee.
I've only come for to see you hang
On yander gallows tree.

Hold up your hand, Oh Joshuay, she said.
Wait a while and see.
I thought I saw my dear old mother
Come crossing over the sea.

Do you have any money for me,
Or gold for to pay my fee.
For I have stole a silvery cup,
And hanged up I'm a'gonna be.

 

I don't have any money for you.
Nor gold for to pay your fee.
I've only come for to see you hang
On yander gallows tree.

Hold up your hand, Oh Joshuay, she said.
Wait a while and see.
I thought I saw own true lover
Come crossing over the sea.

Do you have any money for me,
Or gold for to pay my fee.
For I have stole a silvery cup,
And hanged up I'm a'gonna be.

Yes I have some money for you.
And gold for to pay your fee.
I've just come to save your neck
From yander gallows tree.
