Are you

Coming to the tree?

Where a young girl was hung

She had long blonde hair with

beautiful green eyes,

Are you

Coming to the tree?

Where the young girl lost her life

She hung there as everybody watched

as her eyes drained of color and life,

The young girls life drained from her eyes as she sings a song called The Hanging Tree;

"Are you, are you

Coming to tree?

Where they strung up a man

They said murdered three

Strange things did happen here

No stranger would it be

If we met up at midnight

In the hanging tree,

Are you, are you

Coming to the tree?

Where the man called out

For his love to flee

Strange things did happen here

No stranger would it be

If we met up 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 up 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 up at midnight in the hanging tree."

Will you meet at the hanging tree?

Where the young girl lost her life?
