    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 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 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 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 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.
