During Mockingjay (both the book and the movie), Katniss sings a song called The Hanging Tree.

It's the one that she sings in District 12 when her and her film crew go for a visit.

I remember reading the lyrics to the song in the original book, and I remember that it's something about a couple of lovers - one of which is to be hanged and is lamenting that they didn't run away together. I'm not 100% on this as it's been a while.

Katniss remembers it from her father singing it to her when she was younger. The song is also actually forbidden - probably because it represents rebellion
