James Newton Howard (ft. Jennifer Lawrence) – The Hanging Tree Lyrics

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say murdered three.¹
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.²

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.³
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we’d both be free.⁴
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope,⁵
Side by side⁶ with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we’d both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.⁷
