Текст песни: (There Was A) Tall Oak Tree + перевод

There was a tall oak tree

That loved a babblin brook

And the babblin brook

Loved the mountain high

And the mountain high

Loved the sky above

The Creator looked down

And saw everything was love, love, love

No, he took a bone

And a piece of mud --

He made a man and a woman

To be flesh and blood

And then along came the devil

Up out of the ground --

He tempted the woman

And that spread sin all round, all round, all round

Now, if she? d left that apple

On that apple tree

There? d be no tears or sorrow

We? d live eternally

And then along came Man

And chopped the oak tree down

And now the babblin brook

Is solid ground

And now the mountain high

Don’t 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
