You dusty eyes were soft and glowin' when first I met you, Hannah Lee
There was no way for me a-knowin' 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 hangin' mornin', I heard you tell them you had lied
Your dusty eyes were soft and glowin' 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 lovin' darlin', Hannah Lee. When they hang my lovin' darlin', Hannah Lee
High as the gallows. When they hang my lovin' darlin', Hannah Lee. When they hang my lovin' darlin', Hannah Lee
There was no way for me a-knowin' 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
