Slipknot guide. Now I can do a decent half-Windsor without choking myself. Now I’ll see if I can repeat the feat and get both ends of the tie about the same length…
Did you ever see a hangman tie a slipknot?
Did you ever see a hangman tie a slipknot?
Yes I’ve seen it many times,
And he winds and he winds,
After thirteen times there’s 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.
Slipknot, lord, lord, slip not.
Tell me did you lose your father on that slipknot?
Tell me did you lose your father on that slipknot?
Yes my father was a slave,
Well he tried to escape,
And they took him to his grave on that slipknot.
Tell me did you lose your brother on that slipknot?
Tell me did you lose your brother on that slipknot?
Yes they hung him on a pole,
Then they shot him full of holes.
Then they left him there to rot on that slipknot.
Tell me who makes those laws for the slipknot?
Tell me who makes the laws for the slipknot?
Tell me who says who
Is going to the calaboose?
Get the hangman’s noose on that slipknot.
I don’t know who makes the laws for that slipknot.
I don’t know who makes the laws for that slipknot.
But the bones of many men
Have been whistling in the wind,
‘Cause they tied their laws with that slipknot.
