Rise for the hangman |
|
His pleasure is that you should rise |
|
He's the judge and the jury |
|
At the jester's assize |
|
Poor Will on the gallows tree |
|
Never a cruel word did say |
|
Oh that a good man |
|
Should be treated this way |
|
Run to me mother of anyone's child |
|
And tell me the revelry planned |
|
Judges and barristers, clerks at the law |
|
His show is the best in the land |
|
Here's a toast to the Jolly Hangman |
|
He'll hang you the best that he can |
|
Here's a toast to the Jolly |
|
No purse for a ??? |
|
No true love come over the stile |
|
The debt of a poor man |
|
He'll pay in awhile |
|
Poor ladies, poor gentleman |
|
Born of a sorry degree |
|
Will you laugh with the hangman |
|
When he comes for his fee? |
|
Run to me mother of anyone's child |
|
And tell me the revelry planned |
|
Judges and barristers, clerks at the law |
|
His show is the best in the land |
|
Here's a toast to the Jolly Hangman |
|
He'll hang you the best that he can |
|
Here's a toast to the Jolly |
|
Rise for the hangman |
|
His pleasure is that you should rise |
|
He's the judge and the jury |
|
At the jester's assize |
