THE MAID FREED FROM THE GALLOWS—G

[_]

a. Notes and Queries, Sixth Series, VI, 415, 1882. b. The same, p. 269.

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]
