The Golden Key
THE MAID FREED FROM THE GALLOWS—G
1
‘Hangman, hangman, stop a minute,[OMITTED]
I think I see my father coming,
[OMITTED]
2
‘Father, father, have you found the key,And have you come to set me free?
Or have you come to see me hanged,
Upon this gallows-tree?’
3
‘I have not come to see you hanged,Upon the gallows-tree,
For I have found the golden key,’
[OMITTED]
