"The Gallows Tree"

Lyrics:

I saw a man and his eyes were blue
Under the gallows tree
They were wet with the dew
Of vacant pools
Under the gallows tree

And from his head
A golden crown
That hung from the gallows tree

I saw a man and his eyes were blue
Under the gallows tree

I stood in the crowd and their eyes were cruel
Under the gallows tree
They were wet with the lust
Of justice and blood
Under the gallows tree

And from the sound
Of the vengeful crowd
I knew he swung from the gallows tree

I saw a man and his eyes were blue
Under the gallows tree
