Live Oak Tree Lyrics by Comanche Moon

Last Golden Rays

2022

[Verse 1]
Go send a telegram you surely know my name
Though you don't recognise my face
Most say I'm free and it's true I travel far
But I'm a prisoner to this place
'Cause the bones of my true love
Lie buried in this ground
And her spirit calls me here and calls me down

[Verse 2]
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
And we swore a sacred vow
She swore to be my wife
And we swore it with our bodies all night

[Chorus]
Can you hear her callin?
A voice singin' on the breeze
You can find me in the mornin'
I'll be hangin' by the neck above her grave in the live oak tree

[Verse 3]
One night she came to me she was drunk on brandy wine
She said she had another lover said she had him all the time
She was laughin' in my face as I bolted every door
I lit a fire and I turned and said you won't run around on me no more
And I burned it to the ground and the flames they licked the sky
And in the mornin' she was dead, I was alive

[Verse 4]
I took her body to the live oak tree
I buried her beneath its boughs
I took off for Georgia
A whisper in my ear
Said to me your life [?]
No man can take my life
Though many men have tried
For only in this live oak can I die

[Chorus]
Can you hear her callin?
A voice singin' on the breeze
You can find me in the mornin'
In the live oak tree

[Bridge]
Hey Mr. Hangman you know your gallows ain't for me
My life belongs to another
And I'll be hangin' by the neck above her grave in the live oak tree
The live oak tree
I'll be hangin' in the live oak tree
The live oak tree
I'll be hangin' in the live oak
