THERE WAS
A TALL OAK TREE
THAT LOVED
A BABBLIN' BROOK
AND THE BABBLIN' BROOK
LOVED A MOUNTAIN HIGH
AND THE MOUNTAIN HIGH
LOVED THE SKY ABOVE
THE CREATOR
LOOKED DOWN AND SAW
EVERYTHING WAS LOVE
LOVE LOVE
THEN A-HE TOOK A BONE
AND A PIECE OF MUD
HE MADE A MAN
THEN A WOMAN
TO BE FLESH AND BLOOD
THEN ALONG CAME
THE DEVIL
UP OUT OF THE GROUND
HE TEMPTED WOMAN
AND THAT SPREAD SIN
ALL AROUND
ALL AROUND
ALL AROUND
IF SHE'D A-LEFT
THAT APPLE
ON THE APPLE TREE
THERE'D BE NO TEARS
AND SORROW
WE'D LIVE ETERNALLY
AND THEN
ALONG CAME MAN
TO BURN
THE OAK TREE DOWN
AND NOW
THE BABBLIN' BROOK
IS-A SOLID GROUND
AND THE MOUNTAIN HIGH
DON'T-A STAND SO HIGH
AND THERE'S
A CLOUD OF SMOKE
THAT COVERS UP
THE CLEAR BLUE SKY
THERE WAS
A TALL OAK TREE
THERE WAS
A TALL OAK TREE
THERE WAS
A TALL OAK TREE
