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 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.
