lyrics

Hangin’ Tree
(Lyrics by Chewy Marzolo)

I’ve laid down in the shallow water
Running thick and crimson
With the blood of Kings
Ain’t no grace in dying in their slaughter
They’ll try and us when that church bell rings
They’ll try and hang us when that church bell rings

There ain’t much left but whiskey and sugar
Ain’t much left they can come take away
The blood in your tears in running thick as molasses
Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away
Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away

Out on the hill
There’s a Hangin’ Tree
It waiting for you
And its waiting for me
I’ve seen men
Coming down from the mountains
Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away
Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away

I don’t believe in guardian angels
I think mine’s fallen
And lost his way
Don’t make a sound when death comes knockin’
Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away
Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away

Out on the hill
There’s a Hangin’ Tree
It waiting for you
And its waiting for me
I’ve seen men
Coming down from the mountains
Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away
Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away

There are those who believe that money is power
And they’ll try and fill you head with blame
With a wink and a smile they’ll send you off to slaughter
They will try and and make you feel ashamed
Don’t you ever, ever feel ashamed
I will not let them make you feel ashamed
Don’t you ever, ever feel ashamed
I will not let them make you feel ashamed
Don’t you ever, ever feel ashamed

Out on the hill
There’s a Hangin’ Tree
It waiting for you
And its waiting for me
I’ve seen men
Coming down from the mountains
Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away
Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away
