press the green flag it plays non-stop Lyrics: Are you, are you Coming to the tree? They strung up a man They say who murdered three Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be If we met at midnight in the hanging tree Are you, are you Coming to the tree? Where dead man called out For his love to flee Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be If we met at midnight in the hanging tree Are you, are you Coming to the tree? Where I told you to run So we'd both be free Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be If we met at midnight in the hanging tree Are you, are you Coming to the tree? Wear a necklace of hope Side by side with me Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be If we met at midnight in the hanging tree Are you, are you Coming to the tree? Where I told you to run So we'd both be free Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be If we met at midnight in the hanging tree Are you, are you Coming to the tree? They strung up a man They say who murdered three Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be If we met at midnight in the hanging tree Are you, are you Coming to the tree? Where dead man called out for his love to flee Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
"The Hanging Tree" was a song Katniss learned from her father when she was young, but After his death, Katniss' mother forbids her daughters from singing it anymore. Katniss would not sing the song again for another ten years, when she sang it for Pollux. The song's dark themes are meant to reflect the oppression of the Capitol and how the people of the District endure its authoritarian style of justice.
