The Hanging Tree

　　The Hanging Tree - Frankie laine

　　Written by：Mack David/Jerry Livingston

　　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 oh yeah 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
