Hanna Lee

(الألبوم: Stay Awhile - 1965)

You dusty eyes were soft and glowing when first I met you, Hannah Lee
There was no way for me a-knowing the sorrow your sweet caress would bring to me

High, high, high is the gallows. (Yeah, and it's long) long as the rope that waits for me
High as the gallows. They'll hang me for your sins, my Hannah Lee

You shot and killed your cruel husband because you found you loved but me
And then you lied before the jury and they blamed for your sins, my Hanna Lee

High, high, high is the gallows. (Yeah, and it's long) long as the rope that waits for me
High as the gallows. They'll hang me for your sins, my Hannah Lee

Down at the jail on hanging morning, I heard you tell them you had lied
Your dusty eyes were soft and glowing and I saw you hang your head and cry

High, high, high is the gallows. (Yeah, and it's long) long as the rope that waits for me
High as the gallows. When they hang my loving darling, Hannah Lee
When they hang my loving darling, Hannah Lee
High as the gallows. When they hang my loving darling, Hannah Lee
When they hang my loving darling, Hannah Lee
