Katniss Everdeen sings “The Hanging Tree” near the end of the 9th chapter of the book Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins....
[Verse 1]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where they strung up a man they say who murdered three
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 2]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where a dead man called out for his love to flee
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 3]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run so we'd both be free
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 4]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Wear a necklace of hope side by side with me
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 3]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run so we'd both be free
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 1]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where they strung up a man they say who murdered three
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 2]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where a dead man called out for his love to flee
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
