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

And sometimes it did not

We talked about her childhood

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