  • @pbo660 Do your research before you take chucking around profanities, its not big and its not clever

    "This is based on an old Blues song called "Gallis Pole," which was popularized by Leadbelly. The song is considered "Traditional," meaning the author is unknown. Jimmy Page got the idea for this after hearing the version by California folk singer Fred Gerlach."

  • @pbo660 Sorry man, but the Leadbelly version of this song is titled "Gallis Pole" not "Gallows Pole".
