THE HANGING TREE The hanging tree the hanging tree, A great big cottonwood that waits for me. Just out of town by Old Boot Hill Where they’ll take my body and a grave they’ll fill Now, I don't know, but I was told, They’ll use a slow horse and a rope that's old. Lord, have mercy on a sinner's soul; To end up in heaven was always my goal. It's true; I’ve stole a horse or two, Even after pledging to you. I've drank to much and loved to many Became plain stupid and spent every penny. Come first light I’ll greet my fate For the hangman and I have a early date. I'll mumble and stumble then hold my breath As I pray for God's grace after my death. By Tom Zart |
