lyrics

Come walk with me, my sweetest one
A sight for you to see
I’ll show you where the blackbird nests
She sleeps in the hanging tree

Sleeps in the hanging tree
Sleeps in the hanging tree
I’ll show you where the blackbird nests
She sleeps in the hanging tree

Come take my hand, my sweetest one
And lean right close to me
Would you dare to kiss a stranger here
Under the hanging tree

Under the hanging tree
Under the hanging tree
Would you dare to kiss a stranger here
Under the hanging tree

I leaned into his open arms
Like into an open door
I saw his eyes with the strangest glow
Then I saw no more

Under the hanging tree
Under the hanging tree
I saw his eyes with the strangest glow
Under the hanging tree

The blackbird sings a weary song
She sings so mournfully
My bones shall lay ‘til Kingdom come
Under the hanging tree

Under the hanging tree
Under the hanging tree
My bones shall lay ‘til Kingdom come
Under the hanging tree
