Karaoké The Hanging Tree Marty Robbins

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

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 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

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

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
