lyrics

Chorus
Oh the prickle eye bush
That pricks my hear so soar
And if ever I get out of the prickle eye bush
I never shall get in it anymore

Hangman stay your hand
Stay it for a while
For I think I see my mother
Coming over yonder style

Mother have you brought me gold?
Or silver to set me free
For you save my body from the cold cold ground
And my neck from the gallow tree

No I have not brought you gold
Or silver to set you free
To save your body from the cold cold ground
And your neck from the gallow tree

Chorus

Hangman stay your hand
Stay it for a while
For I think I see my sister
Coming over yonder style

Sister have you brought me gold?
Or silver to set me free
For you save my body from the cold cold ground
And my neck from the gallow tree

No I have not brought you gold
Or silver I can’t afford
To save your body from the cold cold ground
And your neck from the hangman’s cord

Chorus

Hangman stay your hand
Stay it for a while
For I think I see my own true love
Coming over yonder style

Love have you brought me gold?
Or silver to set me free
For you save my body from the cold cold ground
And my neck from the gallows tree

Yes I have not brought you gold
And silver to set you free
To save your body from the cold cold ground
And your neck from the gallows tree

Oh the prickle eye bush
That pricks my hear so soar
And if ever I get out of the prickle eye bush
I never shall get in it anymore

Oh the prickle eye bush
That pricks my heart so soar
And now that I’m out of that prickle eye bush
I never shall get in it anymore
