Are you, are you
Coming to the t ree
Where they strung up a m an
They s ay who murdered t hree.
Strange things did happen here
No stra nger would it be
If we m et at m idnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the t ree
Where t he dead man ca lled out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stra nger would it be
If we m et at m idnight
In the hanging tree.
Are y ou, are y ou
Coming to the t ree
Where I told you to ru n,
So we'd bot h be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stra nger would it be
If we m et at m idnight
In the hanging tree.
Are y ou, are y ou
Coming to the t ree
Wear a n ecklace of hop e,
Side by side with me.
