The Hanging Tree Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 2]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where dead man called out for his love to flee
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 3]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 4]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Wear a necklace of hope
Side by side with me
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 3]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 1]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three
[Refrain]
Strange things did happend here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 2]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where dead man called out for his love to flee
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Outro]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
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 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 hope
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?
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happend here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where 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?
