1
I came to town to search for gold
2
And I brought with me a memory
3
And I seem to hear the night wind cry
4
Go hang your dreams on the hangin' tree
5
Your dreams of love that could never be
6
(Never be)
7
Hang your faded dreams on the hangin' tree
8
(The hangin' tree)
9
I searched tor gold and I found my gold
10
And I found a girl who loved just me
11
And I wished that I could love her too
12
But I'd left my heart on the hangin' tree
13
I'd left my heart with a memory
14
(A memory)
15
And a faded dream on the hangin' tree
16
(The hangin' tree)
17
Now there were men who craved my gold
18
(Ooh ooh)
19
And meant to take my gold from me
20
(Ooh ooh)
21
When a man is gone he needs no gold
22
So they carried me to the hangin' tree
23
To join my dreams and a memory
24
(A memory)
25
Yes, they carried me to the hangin' tree
26
(The hangin' tree)
27
To really live you must almost die
28
(What do I)
29
And it happened just that way with me
30
(What do I)
31
They took the gold and set me free
32
And I walked away from the hangin' tree
33
I walked away from the hangin' tree
34
(The hangin' tree)
35
And my own true love, she walked with me
36
(Aah aah aah aah)
37
That's when I knew that the hangin' tree
38
Was a tree of life, new life for me
39
(Aah aah, aah aah aah)
40
A tree of hope, new hope for me
41
A tree of love, new love tor me
42
The hangin' tree
43
(The hangin' tree)
44
The hangin' tree
