The Hangman's Tree

There's a tree in the forest,with a rope on a limb,waitin' for you.Are you ready to swing?
There's a shadow by the tree,standin' big and tall,eyes like the devil.Are you ready to fall?
Don't say please 'n don't say no,put on yer hat 'n get ready to go,cause we got a date with the hangman at his tree.Better you than me.
There's a tree in the forest,where the hangman waits,ready to send you to your final fate.
There's no need to fuss, no need to fret.The hangman ain't never messed up yet.
Don't say please 'n don't say no,put on yer hat 'n get ready to go,cause we got a datewith the hangman at his tree.Better you than me.
There's a tree in the forest,where the hangman stands,hood on his head, blood on hands.
He's got burnin' red eyes,and a cold, dead grin.But don't you fret,he don't judge your sins.
Don't say please 'n don't say no,put on yer hat 'n get ready to go,cause we got a date with the hangman at his tree.Better you than me.There's a tree in the forest,where the damned are boundwith a hempen noose,then dropped to the ground.
The hangman waits 'n the hangman grins,waiting fer us to give in to our sins.When we do, he won't make a fuss,what's comin' to you, he'll give to us.
Don't say please 'n don't say no,put on yer hat 'n get ready to go,cause we got a datewith the hangman at his tree.Better you than me.
