Hey henker du kriegst silber
Gib mir dafür zeit
Siehst du meinen vater kommen
Er bring t gold und kauft mich frei
Sohn, ich bring kein silber
Und ich hab nie was gestohlen
Du weißt ich hab nichts
Um dich vom galgen zu holen
Hey henker hab noch gnade
Warte 'n halben tag
Mein reicher freund bringt dir
Soviel er tragen kann
Er bringt dir 'n bißchen sibler
Er bringt dir 'n bißchen gold
Er bring t dir 'n bißchen irgendwas
Um mich vom galgen zu holen
Hey spiele um mein leben, vater
Halt den henker auf
Seh mein freund am horizont
Hat was er hat verkauft
Endlich bringst du silber
Hast gold für mich gestohlen
Bist tagelang umhergerannt
Willst mich vom galgen holen
Ich bring' dir doch kein silber
Ich will dir kein gold geben
Ich komm' nur eben mal vorbei
Will dich am galgen sehn
Von mir kriegst du kein silber
Von mir kriegst du kein gold
Dich am galgen hängen sehn
Ist alles was ich wollt'
Gott hilf mir, er will mich hängen
Sehn
Er kommt nur um mich häng' zu sehn
