The Hanging Tree

The Hanging Tree - Uriah Heep

Written by：Ken Hensley/Jack Williams

Hmmm

Hmmm

Hmmm

Passing through the arms of Satan

Of Satan Satan

Reaching for the hands of God

Of God God

Robbing every mind of wisdom

Wisdom dom

Running so he won't get caught get caught

He's outlawed by majority majority

Been branded all his life his life

Some say that he's a sinner man man

As he rides from day to night

He's a bad man so they say

Living for his love and living free

Riding swift and secretly

So he'll miss the hanging tree

Wounded spirit on the wind

Riding to his dream and destiny

Hmmm

Hmmm

He's laughing at the wanted posters posters

Calling for his friends to see to see

Laughing aloud as he rides away away away

Kicking up the dust with speed speed

Time hands him down a pathway pathway pathway

And freedom is a horse he rides

Glory is a dream he's after after after

And fortune is his heart's delight

Ohhhh

He's a bad man so they say

Living for his love and living free

Riding swift and secretly

So he'll miss the hanging tree

Wounded spirit on the wind

Riding to his dream and destiny

Riding swift and secretly

So he'll miss the hanging tree

Wounded spirit on the wind

Riding to his dream and destiny

Riding swift and secretly

So he'll miss the hanging tree

Wounded spirit on the wind

Riding to his dream and destiny

Wounded spirit

So he'll miss the hanging tree
