Sharron Kraus - Gallows Song/Gallows Hill lyrics

Went with my love to Gallows Hill To see if the ghosts were stirring still We walked on up the spiral path Scorching sun upon our backs It is a bright and a beautiful day The sun is shining high It is a wonderful day to live But a gloomy day to die Blood-fed trees are flourishing Nesting birds are cackling Forget-me-nots growing blue as the sky Memories that will not lie In picking a flower I turned away My love grew cold, his face turned grey His eyes were starting out of his head Around his neck sprang a ring of red Oh, cut me down, sweetheart I don't want to die Oh, cut me down, sweetheart I'm not ready to die So don't you go to Gallows Hill Unless you would your true love k** Don't go digging up the past The dead are not buried and they won't rest
