Hanna Lee - The Kingston Trio

You dusty eyes were soft and glowin' when first I met you, Hannah Lee

There was no way for me a-knowin' the sorrow your sweet caress would bring to me

High, high, high is the gallows.

(Yeah, and it’s long) long as the rope that

waits for me

High as the gallows.

They’ll hang me for your sins, my Hannah Lee

You shot and killed your cruel husband because you found you loved but me

And then you lied before the jury and they blamed for your sins, my Hanna Lee

High, high, high is the gallows.

(Yeah, and it’s long) long as the rope that

waits for me

High as the gallows.

They’ll hang me for your sins, my Hannah Lee

Down at the jail on hangin' mornin', I heard you tell them you had lied

Your dusty eyes were soft and glowin' and I saw you hang your head and cry

High, high, high is the gallows.

(Yeah, and it’s long) long as the rope that

waits for me

High as the gallows.

When they hang my lovin' darlin', Hannah Lee.

When they hang my lovin' darlin', Hannah Lee

High as the gallows.

When they hang my lovin' darlin', Hannah Lee.

When they hang my lovin' darlin', Hannah Lee
