            (3/4)

[Intro]
| C | G7 | C | C |

[Verse 1]
                 G          C
I will go to the gallows at sunrise
     F                 C
They say I am going to hang
            F                          C
Through the opening will fall my young body
       D7                   G7
On the end of a rope I will swing

[Verse 2]
   C             G7          C        C7
My pals have all died on the gallows
    F                F7
And I am awaiting my time
       F                    C
If you wander astray in the struggle
     G7                       C
Your life will be wasted like mine

[Verse 3]
  F                       C
I think of my heartbroken mother
    D7                         G7
Her pleadings have all been in vain
    C           C7           F
She suffered to rear me from childhood
    D7                     G7
And now I'm her sorrow and shame

[Verse 4]
      C         G7          C7
Young man don't sin to your sorrow
      F                         F7
Don't shatter your dear mothers name
   F                       C
My pals have all gone on before me
    G7                 C
And I am a lad left in pain

[Break]

[Verse 5]
                 G7          C         C7
No more will the boys gather round me
    F                          C
The pals that I love have gone on
       F                       C
I will die when the new day is dawning
   D7                          G7
To pay for the deeds I've done wrong

[Verse 6]
 C           G7         C        C7
Alone I will die on the gallows
 F                       F7
Alone I will cross the divide
    F                   C
But bury me there by my sweetheart
   G7                             C
To sleep through the years by her side

[Verse 7]
     F                        C
Dear mother it's soon I'll be going
   D                       G7
Oh mother I'll go with the dawn
    C7                          F
The bright stars are now dimmer growing
     D7                      G7
Dear mother my time won't be long

[Verse 8]
   C        G7           C
Oh mother I know how you love me
    F                   F7
But mother I'm going to hang
   F                       C
My pals have all gone on before me
  G7                          C
I guess I have played my last game
