The Hanging Tree
Midnight's Haunting Tale: Unveiling the Enigma in "The Hanging Tree
Lyrics
Are you, are you comin' to the tree?
Asking if the listener is approaching the tree
Where they strung up a man, they say who murdered three
Refers to a man who was hanged for allegedly killing three people
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
Strange events occurred in this location, making it unsurprising if more happened
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Suggests meeting at midnight at the tree, implying a secret or clandestine meeting
Are you, are you comin' to the tree?
Repeats the question of whether the listener is approaching the tree
Where they strung up a man, they say who murdered three
Reiterates the hanging of a man accused of murdering three people
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
Reiteration that strange occurrences happened in the area
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Repeats the suggestion of meeting at midnight at the tree
Are you, are you comin' to the tree?
Repeated inquiry if the listener is coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man, they say who murdered three
Repeats the story of the man hanged for killing three individuals
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
Emphasizes the unusual events that occurred in that location
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Reiterates the idea of meeting secretly at midnight by the hanging tree
Are you, are you comin' to the tree?
Repeats the question of whether the listener is approaching the tree
Where they strung up a man, they say who murdered three
Retells the story of the hanging incident related to three murders
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
Reiteration of strange happenings at that place
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Restates the idea of meeting clandestinely at midnight by the hanging tree
Are you, are you comin' to the tree?
Repeating the question of whether the listener is approaching the tree
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Suggesting a secret meeting at midnight at the hanging tree
Are you, are you comin' to the tree?
Repeating the inquiry if the listener is coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man, they say who murdered three
Reiterating the story of the man hanged for supposedly killing three people
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
Re-emphasizing the occurrence of strange events at that location
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Repeats the suggestion of meeting secretly at midnight by the hanging tree
