Stan Jones - Cottonwood Tree lyrics

There's a tree a-growing on the hillside With a limb for all the boys to see And the wind that's tying to its branches Says leave another man belongin' see So pa** 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 a cottonwood tree There was men caught a-thieving horses Heaven rest their souls from up above Some stole the charms from a woman's arms Devil take the man who steals love So pa** 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 a cottonwood tree When that tree was a-dying on the hillside All the boys rode up there to the draw And the wind that's tying to its branches Says "never, never laugh at the law" So pa** 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 a cottonwood tree Limb of a cottonwood tree
