1
I came to town to search for gold
2
And I brought with me a memory
3
And I seemed to hear the night winds cry
4
Go hang your dreams on the hanging tree
5
Your dreams of love that will never be
6
Hang your faded dreams on the hanging tree.
7
I searched for gold, and I found my gold
8
And I found a girl who loved just me
9
and I wished that I could love her, too
10
But I left my heart on the hanging tree,
11
Left my heart with a memory
12
And my faded dreams on the hanging tree.
13
Now there were men who craved my gold
14
And meant to take my gold from me
15
Where man is gone he needs no gold
16
So they carried me to the hanging tree
17
To join my dreams and a memory
18
Yes, they carried me to the hanging tree.
19
To really live you must almost die
20
And it happened just that way with me
21
They took my gold and set me free
22
And I walked away from the hanging tree
23
I walked away from the hanging tree
24
And my own true love, she walked with me.
25
That's when I knew that the hanging tree
26
Is the tree of life, new life for me
27
The tree of hope, new hope for me,
28
The tree of love, new love for me,
29
The hanging tree the hanging tree the hanging tree.
