Henson Cargill Tall Oak Tree Lyrics

Tall Oak Tree Lyrics

There was a tall oak tree that loved a bubblin' brook



And the bubblin' brook loved a mountain high



And the mountain high loved the sky above



The creator looked down and saw everything was loved loved loved







Then he picked up a bone and a piece of mud



He made a man and a woman to be flash and blood



Then along came a devil up bottom ground



He tempted woman and that's spred sin all around all around all around







If she'd've left that apple in that apple tree



There'd be no tears and sorrow we'd live eternaly



Then along came man to burn the oak tree down



And the bubblin' brook was a solid ground



And the mountain high don't stand so high



And there's a cloud of smoke that covers up a clear blue sky



There was a tall oak tree there was a tall oak tree



There was a tall oak tree there was a tall oak tree
