The Gallis Pole - Leadbelly
Father did you bring me the silver
Father did you bring me the gold
What did you bring me dear father
Keep me from the gallows pole
Yeah what did you
Yeah what did you
What did you bring me
Keep me from the gallows pole
In olden times years ago
When you put a man in prison behind the bars in a jailhouse
If you had fifteen or twenty-five or thirty dollars
You could save him from the gallows pole
'Cause they gonna hang him
If you don't bring up a little money
Everybody would come to the jailhouse
And boy would ran upside the jail
He was married too
As for who brang him something
Lot of comfort here comes his mother
Mother did you bring me the silver
Mother did you bring me the gold
What did you bring me dear mother
Keep me from the gallows pole
Yeah what did you
Yeah what did you
What did you bring me
Keep me from the gallows pole
Son I brought you some silver
Son I brought you some gold
Son I brought you a little of everything
Keep you from the gallows pole
Yeah I brought it
Yeah I brought it
I brought you keep you from the gallows pole
Here come his wife
His wife brought him all kind of clock parts and trace change
Everything in the world she could to get him out of the jailhouse
Wife did you bring me the silver
Wife did you bring me the gold
What did you bring me dear wifey
Save me from the gallows pole
Yeah what did you
Yeah what did you
What did you bring me
Keep me from the gallows pole
Friends did you bring me the silver
Friends did you bring me the gold
What did you bring me my dear friends
Keep me from the gallows pole
Yeah what did you
Yeah what did you
What did you bring me
Keep me from the gallows pole
