lirik lagu blue moon rising - the hanging tree

[verse 1]
high up on the mountainside, there grows an ancient tree
its story has been handed down, all through my family
a vile and twisted evil thing, that stood the test of time
through wind and rain and hurricane and still, the tree’s alive

[chorus]
but tonight
it’s coming down
i’m gonna put it on the ground
the hanging tree

[verse 2]
the year was 1864 when a band of rebel men
were captured by the union boys, that’s how the tale began
they hung em’ up and shot em’ and before they cut em’ down
their blood ran down the trunk and fed the roots down underground

[chorus]
but tonight
it’s coming down
i’m gonna put it on thе ground
the hanging tree
i’ve heard that it’s been thеre since before the dawn of man
but i’m the one who’ll bring it down tonight with these two hands
the hanging tree
[verse 3]
in 1952, a young man sleepin’ in his bed
was waken by an angry mob with hoods upon their head
the cowards hung him from the tree, afraid to show their face
convinced the evil thing they’d done, was strengthening their race

[chorus]
but tonight
it’s coming down
i’m gonna put it on the ground
the hanging tree

[steel guitar solo]

[verse 4]
ten years ago my daddy lost his job down at the mill
and then he fell into a world of alcohol and pills
my momma left, the only thing she took with her was me
and daddy climbed the mountainside to board the hanging tree

[chorus]
but tonight
it’s coming down
i’ll put the d~mn thing on the ground
the hanging tree
i’ve heard that it’s been there since before the dawn of man
but i’m the one who’ll bring it down tonight with these two hands
the hanging tree
