《hanging tree》的歌詞如下：
Sittin' in the jailhouse now, I've been here for a year
I heard a sound outside, I thought it was the wind
But it was the sound of my baby weeping
As she stood there with a rope around her neck
I said baby don't cry, I'll get you out of this
I'll go to the hanging tree and I'll plead your case
But my Lord above, don't look down, don't let me weep
Heard the sound of a prisoner come in
They brought my baby to me with a broken heart
And on her feet, there was something that they said
That I was the only one that could make her walk again
So I said baby don't cry, I'll get you out of this
I'll go to the hanging tree and I'll plead your case
But my Lord above, don't look down, don't let me weep
Lord I went to the jailhouse and I pleaded my case
Said you got to let my baby come back to me
I said you got to let her out of this jailhouse, cause
I ain't gonna live without my baby, I ain't gonna live without her now
Lord they brought her back to me, they brought her back home
I ain't gonna let nobody hang my baby down
Oh Lord I ain't gonna let nobody lay my baby low
Cause they gonna take my baby down from hanging tree now
翻譯：
懸吊的樹 我坐在牢房裡，已經一年 聽到外面有聲音，我想是風 可是那是我的寶貝在哭泣 當我看見她脖子上的繩索時 我說寶貝不要哭，我會讓你擺脫困境 我會去懸吊的樹那兒為你辯護 但是我的天父啊，不要低頭，不要讓我哭泣 我聽到一個囚犯走了進來 他們帶著我的寶貝走向我，她的心已碎 腳上還有一句話：只有我能讓她走路了 所以我說寶貝不要哭，我會讓你擺脫困境 我會去懸吊的樹那兒為你辯護 但是我的天父啊，不要低頭，不要讓我哭泣 我去了牢房，我訴說了我的情況 你說你必須讓我的寶貝回到我身邊 你說你必須讓她從這個牢房出去，因為 我不能沒有我的寶貝，我不能沒有她了 上帝啊，他們把她帶回來了，帶回家來 我不會讓任何人吊死我的寶貝 喔，上帝啊，我不會讓任何人讓我的寶貝失望 他們將要從懸吊的樹上帶走我的寶貝。
