I searched tor gold and I found my gold
(Ooh ooh)
And I wished that I could love her too
(The hangin' tree)
(What do I)
I walked away from the hangin' tree
To join my dreams and a memory
I'd left my heart with a memory
Your dreams of love that could never be
The hangin' tree
So they carried me to the hangin' tree
And it happened just that way with me
But I'd left my heart on the hangin' tree
A tree of hope, new hope for me
(Aah aah aah aah)
(A memory)
(Never be)
(What do I)
To really live you must almost die
(The hangin' tree)
(A memory)
And I seem to hear the night wind cry
And I walked away from the hangin' tree
(Ooh ooh)
That's when I knew that the hangin' tree
A tree of love, new love tor me
And a faded dream on the hangin' tree
Yes, they carried me to the hangin' tree
They took the gold and set me free
(Aah aah, aah aah aah)
And my own true love, she walked with me
(The hangin' tree)
And I found a girl who loved just me
Hang your faded dreams on the hangin' tree
(The hangin' tree)
And meant to take my gold from me
When a man is gone he needs no gold
Was a tree of life, new life for me
Now there were men who craved my gold
Go hang your dreams on the hangin' tree
(The hangin' tree)
