Poor Will And The Jolly Hangman

Fairport Convention
앨범 : Meet On The Ledge : The Classic Years 1967-1975

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
