Are you, are you [bad word] to the tree
 Where they [bad word] up a man they say murdered three?
Strange things did happen here 
No stranger would it seem
 If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Are you, are you [bad word] to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee?
Strange things did happen here 
No stranger would it seem
 If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Are you, are you [bad word] to the tree
Where I told you [bad word]  so we'd both be free?
Strange things did happen here 
No stranger would it seem
 If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Are you, are you [bad word] to the tree
 Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me...
Strange things did happen here 
No stranger would it seem
 If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
