Thread Name: Lyr Req: Slipknot / Slip Knot (Woody Guthrie)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lyrics to 'Slipknot'
another note to Mary

Your response stimulated my memory of Woody's version.

I recall two separate verses

Tell me will that slipnot slip, no it will not (2x)
It'll slip round your neck but it wont slip back again
That slipknot lord, that slipknot

Have you ever lost a brother to that slipknot (2x)
my brother was a slave lord he tried to escape
they left him there to rot on that slipknot.

All other verses are as I recall
thanks again
