But I have come to see you hang On yonder lonesome tree."

I think I see my brother dear, Who's come for many a long mile.

Or have you come to see me hang On yonder lonesome tree ?"

But 1 have come to see you hang On yonder lonesome tree."

Or have you come to see me hang, On yonder lonesome tree ?"

And I have come to marry you; And take you home with me." |
