The hanging tree

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say murdered three
Strange things have happened 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 have happened 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.
