HANG ME FROM A GOOSEBERRY TREE An Englishman, a Welshman and a Hebrew They were sentenced to be hanged down Texas way And they each wre asked to choose a tree to swing from And they started with the Welshman right away So the Welshman chose a pear tree and was happy The Englishman said "Any tree will do" So they chose for him an apple tree to swing from When suddenly these words came from the Jew "Hang me please from my favourite tree" And the judge said "What tree will it be?" "It's the tree I love best, it's my dying request Hang me please from a gooseberry tree" Then the judge said "But surely you know That a gooseberry tree's awfully low" "Oh all right then" says Mose "I will wait til it grows "Hang me please from a gooseberry tree" I learned a version of this song many years ago, so long that I can no longer remember where it came from but these were the lyrics. The last line is to the tune of "In the shade of the old apple tree" AZ filename[ GOOSBRRY AZ OCT98 |
