The Hanging Tree
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where they strung up a man they say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run so we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run so we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where they strung up a man they say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
