Tekst piosenki
There was a tree
All in the wood
The prettiest tree
That you ever did see
Now, the tree in a hole
And the hole in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around, and the green grass grows all around
And on that tree
There was a limb
The prettiest limb
That you ever did see
Oh, the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around and the green grass grows all around.
And on that limb
There was a branch
The prettiest branch
That you ever did see
Oh, the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around and the green grass grows all around.
And on that branch (And on that branch)
There was a nest (There was a nest)
The prettiest nest (The prettiest nest)
That you ever did see
Oh, the nest on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around and the green grass grows all around.
And in that nest (And in that nest)
There was an egg (There was an egg)
The prettiest egg (The prettiest egg)
That you ever did see
Now, the egg in the nest,
And the nest on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around and the green grass grows all around.
And in that egg
There was a bird
The prettiest bird
That you ever did see
Oh, the bird in the egg,
And the egg in the nest,
And the nest on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around and the green grass grows all around.
And on that bird (And on that bird)
There was a wing (There was a wing)
The prettiest wing (The prettiest wing)
That you ever did see
Oh, the wing on the bird,
And the bird in the egg,
And the egg in the nest,
And the nest on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around and the green grass grows all around.
And on that wing
There was a feather
The prettiest feather
That you ever did see
Oh, the feather on the wing,
And the wing on the bird,
And the bird in the egg,
And the egg in the nest,
And the nest on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around, green grass grows all around.
And on that feather (And on that feather)
There was a bug (There was a bug)
The prettiest bug (The prettiest bug)
That you ever did see
Oh, the bug on the feather,
And the feather on the wing,
And the wing on the bird,
And the bird in the egg,
And the egg in the nest,
And the nest on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around and the green grass grows all around.
And on that bug
There was a germ
The prettiest germ
That you ever did see
Oh, the germ on the bug,
And the bug on the feather,
And the feather on the wing,
And the wing on the bird,
And the bird in the egg,
And the egg in the nest,
And the nest on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in a hole,
And the hole in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around and the green grass grows all around.
The green grass grows all around, all around and the green grass grows all around.
