lyrics

Man down
Man overboard
Man about town
Hangs from a bough
Gather round friends
To cut him down
Carry his body
Through the churchyard
And out of the city
To unhallowed ground

Dawn breaks
Man to the plough
Girl about town
On the family farm
She catches his eye
Follows him home
Through the churchyard
And out of the city
A bed by the river
On unhallowed ground

I saw a man on a rope
For a girl from the town
Oh won't you gather round friends
To cut him down?

She cried - Oh come to me now
Do with my body as with the plough
He replied - I won't have you now
Wait one more summer
I'll speak with your father
and ask for his blessing
to honour our vow

I saw a man on a rope
For a girl from the town
Oh won't you gather round friends
To cut him down?

Daughter of mine
So fair and so fine
Where have you been
This evening time?

Father dear
I've been with a man
So gentle and kind
He asked for my hand

Daughter to bed!
I won't have you wed
The man is a scoundrel
And I swear if he's touched you
Tomorrow he'll hang
By the neck til he's dead

I saw a man on a rope
For a girl from the town
Oh won't you gather round friends
To cut him down?
