(There Was a) Tall Oak Tree Songtext
von Bobby Bare

(There Was a) Tall Oak Tree Songtext

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


Then, he took a bone
And a piece of mud
He made a man and a woman
To be flesh and blood
Then along came the devil
Up out of the ground
He tempted the woman
And that spread sin all around, all around, all around

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 burned the oak tree down
And now the babblin′ brook
Is a solid ground
And 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
