Harry Belafonte Acorn In The Meadow Lyrics

Acorn In The Meadow Lyrics

Acorn in the meadow, Meadow filled with sun 

  Sun is shining warm on the meadow. Tree begun 

  Baby in the cradle, Cradle filled with love 

  Mama smiling warm on the cradle from above 

  

  Someday my baby be a giant man 

  Trees stretch clear up to the sky 

  Me all rest in the shade of it 

  Rest in the roots when I die 

  Oh Lord I pray you help me 

  Help me make him good 

  Never make me sorry that he was born 

  I can see it me in the shade of the acorn tree 

  He and his woman sitting side of me 

  And maybe my baby with an acorn of his own
