Your 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 gallow
And it′s long is the rope that waits for me
High is the gallow
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 me for your sins, my Hannah Lee
High, high, high is the gallow
And it's long is the rope that waits for me
High is the gallow
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 gallow
And it's long is the rope that waits for me
High is the gallow
Then they hanged my lovin′ darlin', Hannah Lee
Then they hanged my lovin′ darlin', Hannah Lee
Then they hanged my lovin' darlin′, Hannah Lee
Then they hanged my lovin′ darlin', Hannah Lee
