Hanging Tree lyrics
Song information
Artist: Marty Robbins Album: Marty's Greatest Hits
Lyrics
I came to town to search for gold and I brought with me a memory And I seem to hear the night wind cry Go hang your dreams on the hanging tree your dreams of love that could never be Hang your faded dreams on the hanging tree (the hanging tree)
I searched for gold and I found my gold and I found a girl who loved just me And I wished that I could love her too But I'd left my heart on the hanging tree I'd left my heart with a memory And a faded dream on that hanging tree (the hanging tree)
Now there were men who craved my gold and meant to take my gold from me When a man is gone he needs no gold So they carried me to the hanging tree to join my dreams and a memory Yes they carried me to the hanging tree (the hanging tree)
To really live you must almost die and it happened just that way with me They took the gold and set me free And I walked away from the hanging tree I walked away from the hanging tree And my own true love she walked with me
That's when I knew that the hanging tree was a tree of life a new life for me A tree of hope new hope for me a tree of love new love for me The hanging tree the hanging tree the hanging tree
