About This Song
About "Slipknot (Hangknot Slipknot)" by Woody Guthrie
A knotty, tongue-twisting folk oddity—Guthrie turning a slipknot into a word game. The tune is loose and mischievous, a hangman's rope reimagined as a playground rhyme. Under the whimsy, a faint unease: the noose as a joke, the joke as a warning. Calm delivery, coiled tension.
