Hanging

[Intro]
Look you better get outta here
'Cause if the boys hear you're back
Your life will be worth a cent

[Verse 1]
On the hill where we first met
There's a tree so tall and proud
Here you promised to stay with me
And we kissed under the clouds
Another man, he wanted me so
And we were to be wed
The morning of our wedding day
They found him lying dead

[Chorus]
Where are you my love I
Don't know where you've run
Will I ever see my love again
I wish he'd come back to me
And if I ever see my love again
I know he won't see me
I wonder where he is and if he's happy there
He can't come back to me
'Cause if I ever see my love again
I'll hang him from that tree

[Verse 2]
He says you took the poor man's life
With a bullet through the chest
If it's true or if it's not
Matters only to the rats
I just want to be with you
To feel you hold me tight
So I wait under the tree
And wonder through the night

[Chorus]
Where are you my love I
Don't know where you've run
Will I ever see my love again
I wish he'd come back to me
And if I ever see my love again
I know he won't see me
I wonder where he is and if he's happy there
He can't come back to me
'Cause if I ever get to see my love again
I'll hang him from that tree

[Verse 3]
One day a man will take my hand
And I will take his too
For him I'll give a pretty smile
The tears for only you
Every day I see our tree
It's branches old and bare
Sometimes I look up and I think
I see you hanging there
