oo bang jiggly jang - hanging tree lyrics

in the north country town
just a few miles from the corner of the land
the youngest rich fool
had his call stands as high as a man
in every village round
the tree stands tall and serene
glad the tree could never tell
of the pain and the torment it’d see

be a long longing tale
starting in the 15th century
see a man run through the wood
and in his ear rang the cry “sorcery”
the flashing of the torches
the clanging of the church bells
when he caught him, he was hung
there was no time and story to tell

and now the tree stands forlorn
no one will ever know the pain and anguish it’s caused
all through the centuries it stood
the only hanging tree in the wood

so come on all you strong men
round and round, left no hand
put your strength into the stalk
put your power into the paint and clear the land
cut off the branches
sever the roots, tear off the bell
we’ll burn all the rest
and put the land back under the plow
then carry the drum
interject the power it holds
and with the axe and the plane
the tree’s good wood we will hold
and then every village round
the people, they will be told
to come in the spring
and dance around the mayberry pole

and now the tree stands no more
no one will ever know the pain and anguish it’s caused
all through the centuries it stood
the only hanging tree in the wood
