Hangin' Tree - Green River

I come running to the shelter of the hangin' tree

Down by where the creek runs dry

How many boys have hung above me

Leaving how many girls alone to cry

Alone, alone, alone to cry

This cruel wind brings in one last storm

I need the shelter of the hangin' tree

Branches block drops of mornin' water claims of love are made

Flash flood, eternal love

Flash flood, eternal flood

Runnin', runnin', runnin' past that hangin' tree

I come runnin' to the shelter of the hangin' tree

Down by where the creek runs wild

Drenched by bad bad love

Gonna hang myself out to dry

Hang myself, hang myself, gonna hang myself out to dry

Out to dry, hang 'em high

Part the red sea

Part it and let me through
