Hanging Tree Lyrics

Oh, where did you go? They've been looking for you

I heard you're hanging around by that tree, that tree downtown

You know, people talk

And the rumours are way too loud

That tree now has a rope, So I think it's time to go

They want to see you hang, They want to see you swing

Swinging from that tree

They want to see you hang, They want to see you swing

Swinging from that tree

You're already dead, you're already dead, you're already dead, my friend

You should've walked away a long time ago

And never speak about those things you know

you should've walked away, you should've walked away

The words of mankind are mostly lies, The only truth lies between the lines

I guess you found what they tried to hide, so they'll silence you right now

The words of mankind are mostly lies, You're the one who's gonna pay the price

You'll be hung for someone else's crimes, You'll be hung 'cause no one questions why

They want to see you hang, They want to see you swing

Swinging from that tree

They want to see you hang, They want to see you swing

Swinging from that tree

You're already dead, you're already dead, you're already dead, my friend

It's too late, it's too late, it's too late now

It's too late, it's too late, it's too late now

You're buried underneath their lies

You were in the wrong place at the wrong time

So that is why

You're six feet under ground
