Intro:

      A augmentedA           C majorC    D MajorD
Well, I can hear mamma singin' the hangin' tree
 C majorC            G+G   A augmentedA
Sound like someone singin' harmony
A augmentedA             C majorC      D MajorD
And me and my brother we don't make a peep
 C majorC           G+G    A augmentedA
We go down slow to the hangin' tree
 A augmentedA              C majorC    D MajorD
Hangin' tree's down by the river's edge
 C majorC              G+G    A augmentedA
We come up stream and peek over the ledge
 A augmentedA               C majorC    D MajorD
And mamma's got a rope and a kitchen knife
 C majorC               G+G     A augmentedA
And the harmony singer is the preacher's wife
 A augmentedA          C majorC      D MajorD
Mamma put a bible in her right hand
   C majorC           G+G     A augmentedA
And asked her if she been seein' her man
 A augmentedA               C majorC    D MajorD
Well, me and my brother don't hear no more
 C majorC              G+G    A augmentedA
Cause right then the rain began to pour
 A augmentedA                 C majorC      D MajorD
It was an hour past dark when she came back home
     C majorC          G+G    A augmentedA
And we never saw papa round here no more
 A augmentedA               C majorC    D MajorD
Mamma took to sittin' by the hangin' tree
      C majorC          G+G   A augmentedA
But there ain't no body singin' harmony
 A augmentedA               C majorC      D MajorD
The preacher's wife she don't leave his side
     C majorC         G+G    A augmentedA
And we ain't got papa to tan no hide
A augmentedA           C majorC    D MajorD
My older brother he took his life
  C majorC              G+G     A augmentedA
And I took to peepin' on the preacher's wife
A augmentedA          C majorC      D MajorD
I left my mamma when I was sixteen
  C majorC               G+G    A augmentedA
Strung up in the limbs of the hangin' tree
