The Hanging Tree Lyrics

von Peter Hollens

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
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
(Vocals)
Are you, Are you
Come into the tree
