CROOKED TREE

Crooked tree, Crooked tree
Now I know your name
Crooked tree, Crooked tree
Now you bear my shame

Lying ‘neath the crooked tree
The moon was rising high
I met my love beneath the boughs
His skin like midnight sky

A love forbidden in that day
Our passion hid in shade
Until the leaves fell, branches bare
Betrayed the vow we made

Crooked tree, Crooked tree
Now I know your name
Crooked tree, Crooked tree
Now you bear my shame

They came and dragged you from my arms
And bound your hands and feet
by no law come from God or man
no judgment passed so fleet

They slipped the rope around your neck
I watched and held my tears
The white horse ran across the field
And left you hanging there

Crooked tree, Oh wicked tree
You wear a crown of thorns
For taking the life of my true love
I’ll burn you to the ground
