about

Our attempt at some sort of humorous alternative rock take of gallows pole

lyrics

I lost my mind when I was young
I fell in love with someone
For a girl I knew I couldn’t have
Still couldn’t help lord I love
The executioners daughter
Yes the hangman’s her father

Well I’ve got no intention of slowing down
I’m a rock on a sloped hill headed for the ground
If you catch me in my grave
You know the stone will say my name
But before the sun does set down on my day
I’d like to say
That when
My head is on the bench
If this may be the end
My final sentence will be
Won’t you understand, my darling hangman
Let me take your daughters hand
As I leave the living world for the damned

Well for years I’ve been alone
Yes I’ve been traveling on my own
Still sometimes I think of home
Back to the girl I know
The executioners daughter
Yes the hangman’s her father

Well I’ve got no intention of slowing down
I’m a rock on a sloped hill headed for the ground
If you catch me in my grave
You know the stone will say my name
But before the sun does set down on my day
I’d like to say
That when
My head is on the bench
If this may be the end
My final sentence will be
Won’t you understand, my darling hangman
Let me take your daughters hand
As I leave the living land to the damned

And if you catch me in my grave
you know the stone will say my name
before the sun does set down on my day

I’d like to say
That when
My head is on the bench
If this may be the end
My final sentence will be
Won’t you understand, my darling hangman
Let me take your daughters hand
As I leave the living land for the damned
