Cottonwood Tree

There's a tree growin' on the Hillside with a limb for all the boys to see And the wind a sighin' through its Branches says leave another man's belongings be So pass the jug and we'll drink once More to the men wherever they may be That swung in the wind on a rope From a limb, limb of the Cottonwood Tree (Cottonwood Tree) There was men a caught thievin' Horses havin' rest their souls from up above Some stow the charms of a woman's Arms devil take the man who steals love So pass the jug and we'll drink once More to the men wherever they may be That swung in the wind on a rope From a limb, limb of the Cottonwood Tree (Cottonwood Tree) When that tree was dyin' on the hillside All the boys rode up there through the draw And the wind a sighin' through its Branches says never, never laugh at the law So pass the jug and we'll drink once More to the men wherever they may be That swung in the wind on a rope From a limb, limb of the Cottonwood Tree (Cottonwood Tree) Cottonwood Tree
