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

And sometimes it did not

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