An English man a Scotsman and a Hebrew were sentenced to be hung down Texas way
They each could choose a tree they wished to die on and they started with the Scotsman right away
The Scotsman chose a fir tree and died happy
The Englishman said any tree will do, so on an apple tree they put his lights out, when
Suddenly these words came from the Jew
Hang me please on a gooseberry tree, it’s the tree I have long wished to be
It’s the tree I like best, it’s my dying request,
Hang me please on a gooseberry tree.
The judge said but surely you know
The gooseberry tree is too low
The Jew says I know, I will wait till it grows
Hang me please on a gooseberry tree.
