Hmmm... maybe some of you are not familiar with "Hangman Slack That Rope."

Sung in the form of an old, southern US spiritual, acapella, it's a song of denial from a man about to be hung who is eventually hung. And that is how the song ends, abruptly and rather grotesquely, to wit, I offer the last lines of the song...

Cause there ain't gonna be no hangin today,
Hangman slack that aaacccckkkkkk
