4. I probably wrote it wrong, based on memory
But yeah, I think they do Hangman on the LZ DVD - they do an acoustic set there too

"Brother did you bring me silver, brother did you bring me gold..." Many variations. Way back in the mid 1960's, I wrote a term paper on this theme.

Folkways "The Maid Freed From the Gallows" Also covered by Peter Paul and Mary, I believe. Niles was listed on the album cover as a "mountaineer tenor." In reality, he kept sliding into falsetto.
