Tonart: Bb major
Verse 1
Bb
Eb
Let me tell you a story,
Bb
that's never been made quite clear.
Eb
It won't take me long, oh,
Bb
I'm sure he'd be glad to hear.
About the hangman's
Bb
how she was to be my wife,
Eb
How she came, how we went,
Bb
F
Bb
Eb
Bb
and how I lost my life.
Eb
Well, the rain blew out of the sun set,
Bb
and the clouds blew over the sky.
Eb
Through the fallin' darkness,
Bb
I heard a single cry
Eb
And out from the woodland,
Bb
she ran with tears so blind
Eb
And there, on the high road,
Bb
F
Bb
Eb
Bb
we met for the first time.
Eb
She cried upon my shoulder,
Bb
her hair as black as night.
Eb
I stroked the long dark tresses
Bb
and calmed her of her fright
Eb
Her gleaming eyes were wet with tears,
Bb
her lids were shy cast down
Eb
I took her hand, I held her close,
Bb
F
Bb
Eb
Bb
we walked back to the town
Eb
I called on her quite often
Bb
We walked out by the stream
Eb
Picked primrose in the marshes
Bb
To hear the wild gulls scream
Eb
The sun was black and crimson
Bb
As it sets above the wood
Eb
I took her hand, I held her close,
Bb
F
Bb
Eb
Bb
And I kissed her as I could.
Eb
Her father was the hangman,
Bb
Her mother used to hide,
Eb
For fear someone would talk to her,
Bb
She kep t a girl inside.
Eb
But my lady was a rambler,
Bb
And cut through every bar,
Eb
And rose above the vil lage
Bb
F
Bb
Eb
Bb
Just like the morning star
Eb
We stood down at the crossroads
Bb
And watched the gibbets swing
Eb
Her tears were on my shoulder
Bb
We trembled in the wind
Eb
We sat upon a milestone
Bb
And I held her close to cry
Eb
And through that long sad afternoon,
Bb
F
Bb
Eb
Bb
the carriages rolled by.
Eb
We talked about her childhood,
Bb
of all the life she'd known.
Eb
There was food upon the table,
Bb
there were flowers in her home.
Eb
We talked and she remembered,
Bb
those things best long forgot.
Eb
A rope hung on the kitchen door
Bb
F

And sometimes it did not

We talked about her childhood

Of all the life she'd known

Bb
Eb
Bb
And sometimes it did not
Eb
The snow was on the mountains,
Bb
the air was cold and still
Eb
I left my home at sunrise,
Bb
and I met her at the mill
Eb
I set her in the saddle
Bb
And whistled for the day
Eb
We clung hard to each other
Bb
F
Bb
Eb
Bb
And slowly rode away
Eb
We climbed the first blue hillside
Bb
and silently looked down.
Eb
The horse was pulling forward
Bb
as we turned our heads around.
Eb
And so we left our homeland
Bb
and rode over the Lee
Eb
With the hangman's beautiful daughter,
Bb
F
a -hangin' on to me.
