Robert from Johns Creek, GaI agree with Shane from Orlando.Jeff from The New American Third WorldI think a listen to this track will tell you a lot about the inspiration for this track:.J Michael from San AntonioContrary to someone else’s comment, it wasn’t the protagonist who ended up being hung, it was his SISTER.A very fine version can be found on the Moonrakers album "Ebb & Flow" at Leadbelly reinterpreted a number of traditional British songs including this one. Jon Bennett from Oxford UkI'm surprised no-one has mentioned the traditional English song "Prickle-Eye Bush" as the origin for this song.Gallow’s Pole is Robert Plant’s favorite song on the album. Bobby Joe from Costa Mesa CaLed Zepplin III is the album I’d choose if I had to choose one album to listen to for eternity.The listener thinks she is bringing a bribe or pay off but her life is taken instead. If you listen to the lyrics he rides away and his sister is hung in his place. Briandb from IllinoisLed Zeppelin's version does not end with the protaganist hanging.Yeah the hangman says "she's swingin on my gallows pole" but he is not referring to the actual gallows! Take it in context with most of the songs on Zep's first couple of albums - plenty of sexual references going on there. Randy from VirginiaShane from Orlando got it right.The lyrics may officially say that the condemned is hanged anyway, but Plant definitely sings "She's swinging" and as another comment noted, the music does not seem funereal or tragic by the end. Whether this is an everybody wins situation or a kind of rape where the sister suffers is open to differing interpretations.
