[net.music.folk] Hangman

Wanted:  name of record with a recording of the Hangman Song (the one
where the guy's hoping someone will bring silver or gold so the Hangman
won't hang him).  The Smothers Brothers and New Christy Minstrels only
recorded a funny (?) truncated version of this.  I've written a filk to it
and my guitarist wants to hear a recording of the full thing before he's
willing to sing it.

    My husband sings a version of the Hangman Song (I think he has it on a tape.  He does have it in his book of dulcimer (mountain) tunes.  If
you're interested I could probably arrange something, such as a copy of the
music (with dulcimer tablature) or a copy of the tape, for a small monitary
contribution.
