Verse 1
Db
Gb
Let me tell you a story,
Db
that's never been made quite clear.
Gb
It won't take me long, oh,
Db
I'm sure he'd be glad to hear.
About the hangman's

how she was to be my wife,
Gb
How she came, how we went,

and how I lost my life.

I heard a single cry
Gb
And out from the woodland,
Db
she ran with tears so blind
Gb
And there, on the high road,
Db
Ab
Db
Gb
Db
we met for the first time.
Gb
She cried upon my shoulder,
Db
her hair as black as night.
Gb
I stroked the long dark tresses
Db
and calmed her of her fright
Gb
Her gleaming eyes were wet with tears,
Db
her lids were shy cast down
Gb
I took her hand, I held her close,
Db
Ab
Db
Gb
Db
we walked back to the town
Gb
I called on her quite often
Db
We walked out by the stream
Gb
Picked primrose in the marshes
Db
To hear the wild gulls scream
Gb
The sun was black and crimson
Db
As it sets above the wood
Gb
I took her hand, I held her close,
Db
Ab
Db
Gb
Db
And I kissed her as I could.

Her father was the hangman,
Db
Her mother used to hide,
Gb
For fear someone would talk to her,
Db
She kep t a girl inside.
Gb
But my lady was a rambler,
Db
And cut through every bar,
Gb
And rose above the vil lage
Db
Ab
Db
Gb
Db
Just like the morning star
Gb
We stood down at the crossroads
Db
And watched the gibbets swing
Gb
Her tears were on my shoulder
Db
We trembled in the wind
Gb
We sat upon a milestone
Db
And I held her close to cry
Gb
And through that long sad afternoon,
Db
Ab
Db
Gb
Db
the carriages rolled by.
Gb
We talked about her childhood,
Db
of all the life she'd known.

There was food upon the table,

We talked and she remembered,
Db
those things best long forgot.

A rope hung on the kitchen door

The snow was on the mountains,
Db
the air was cold and still

Db
and I met her at the mill

I set her in the saddle
Db
And whistled for the day

We clung hard to each other
Db

Gb
Db
And slowly rode away
Gb
We climbed the first blue hillside
Db
and silently looked down.

The horse was pulling forward
Db
as we turned our heads around.
Gb
And so we left our homeland
Db
and rode over the Lee
Gb
With the hangman's beautiful daughter,
Db
Ab
a -hangin' on to me.
