Lyrics

Go send a telegram, you surely know my name, though you won't recognize my face.
Most say I'm free, and it's true I've traveled far, but I'm a prisoner to this place.
Cause the bones of my true love lie buried in its ground
And her spirit calls me here, it calls me down.
I was a citizen, a dandy gentleman, well-respected in my time.
She took my proud heart and surely made it hers. Fool to think I'd made her mine.
We swore a sacred vow, she swore to be my wife
And we swore it with our bodies all night
Can you hear her calling?
A voice singing on the breeze
You can find me in the morning
I'll be hanging by the neck above her grave in the live oak tree. Yeah!
One night she came to me, she was drunk on brandy wine.
She said she had another lover, said she'd had him all the time.
She was laughing in my face as I bolted every door.
I lit a fire and I turned and said, You won't run around on my no more.
And I burned it to the ground. And the flames, they licked the sky
And in the morning she was dead, I was alive.
I took her body to the live oak tree. I buried her beneath its boughs.
Took off for Georgia, a whisper in my ear said, To me your life and soul you owe.
No man can take my life
Though many men have tried
For only in this live oak can I die.
Can you hear her calling?
A voice singing on the breeze.
You can find me in the morning
In the live oak tree. Tell me!
Hey Mr. Hangman,
You know your gallows ain't for me
My life belongs to another
And I'll be hanging by the neck above her grave in the live oak tree
The live oak tree
I'll be hanging in the live oak tree
The live oak tree
I'll be hanging in the live oak.
