SLIPKNOT Did you ever see a hangman tie a slipknot? Did you ever see a hangman tie a slipknot? Yes, I've seen it many a time And he winds and he winds After thirteen times he's got a slipknot Tell me, will that slipknot slip? No, it will not Tell me, will that slipknot slip? No, it will not It'll slip around your neck But it won't slip back again That slipknot, Lord God, that slipknot Did you ever lose a brother on that slipknot? Did you ever lose a brother on that slipknot? Yes, my brother was a slave And he tried to escape And they drug him to his grave with a slipknot Did you ever lose your father on that slipknot? Did you ever lose your father on that slipknot? Yes they hung him from a pole And they shot him full of holes They left him there to rot on that slipknot Tell me, who makes the laws for that slipknot? Tell me, who makes the laws for that slipknot? Who says who is a-goin' To the calaboose And get that hangman's noose on that slipknot? I don't know who makes the law for that slipknot I don't know who makes the law for that slipknot But the bones of many a man Are a-whistlin' in the wind Cause they tied their laws with the slipknot I don't know who makes the law for that slipknot I don't know who makes the law for that slipknot But the bones of many a man Are a-whistlin' in the wind Cause they made their laws with the slipknot And because they tied their laws with the slipknot Woody Guthrie > canzoni > Buffalo Skinners - The Asch Recordings Vol 4
