[Intro] G D G D G D G [Chorus]
D                 G
Oh, the prickilie bush

   C                    D
It pricks my heart full sore

     G        D          G         C
If I ever get out of the prickilie bush

     G         D        G
I'll never get in it anymore
[Verse 1]
D                  G
Hangman, stay your rope

         C              D
Will you stay it for a while

  G       D      G      C
I think I see my mother coming

G           D      G
Riding over yonder stile
[Verse 2]
D                        G
Mother, did you bring me gold

   C                D
Or silver to pay my fee

       G       D             G         C
For to save my body from the cold clay ground

   G             D       G
My neck from the gallows tree
[Verse 3]
D                  G
I didn't bring you gold

   C                  D
Or silver to pay your fee

    G      D       G       C
But I have come to see you hang

G      D       G
On the gallows tree
[Chorus]
D                 G
Oh, the prickilie bush

   C                    D
It pricks my heart full sore

     G        D          G         C
If I ever get out of the prickilie bush

     G         D        G
I'll never get in it anymore
[Verse 4]
D                  G
Hangman, stay your rope

         C              D
Will you stay it for a while

  G       D      G      C
I think I see my father coming

G    D      G
Over yonder stile
[Verse 5]
D                        G
Father, did you bring me gold

   C                D
Or silver to pay my fee

   G        D       G      C
Or have you come to see me hang

G      D       G
On the gallows tree
[Verse 6]
D                 G
I didn't bring ya gold

   C                  D
Or silver to pay your fee

     G          D      G      C
Your mother and I have come today

G                 D       G
To see you on the gallows tree
[Chorus]
D                 G
Oh, the prickilie bush

   C                    D
It pricks my heart full sore

     G        D          G         C
If I ever get out of the prickilie bush

     G         D        G
I'll never get in it anymore
[Verse 7]
D                  G
Hangman, stay your rope

C               D
Once more for a while

  G       D      G       C
I think I see my darling coming

G    D      G
Over yonder stile
[Verse 8]
D                         G
Darling, did you bring me gold

   C                D
Or silver to pay my fee

       G       D             G         C
For to save my body from the cold clay ground

G                D       G
My neck from the gallows tree
[Verse 9]
D            G
I brought ya gold

    C                  D
And silver to pay your fee

  G       D       G       C
I did not come to see you hang

G      D       G
On the gallows tree
[Chorus]
D                 G
Oh, the prickilie bush

   C                    D
It pricks my heart full sore

    G            D          G         C
But now that I'm out of the prickilie bush

     G         D        G
I'll never get in it anymore
