Woodman, Spare That Tree - Phil Harris[00:00:00]

There is a tree grows near our house[00:00:09]

It's been there quite some time[00:00:11]

Now the tree is a slippery elm tree[00:00:12]

And awful hard to climb[00:00:15]

But when my wife gets after me[00:00:19]

In that tree I always roost[00:00:21]

Why I can go right up it just like a healthy squirrel[00:00:23]

I don't never need no boost[00:00:25]

But the other day a woodman came round[00:00:30]

To chop my refuge down[00:00:32]

Kept mumbling something about wanting to split it into kindling wood[00:00:34]

And then spreading it round the town[00:00:36]

I said to him I said look here my friend[00:00:40]

Hold on desist whoa stop[00:00:42]

Put down that forest razor[00:00:45]

Chop not a single chop[00:00:47]

Woodman woodman spare that tree[00:00:51]

Touch not a single bough[00:00:53]

Three years it has protected me[00:00:55]

And I'll protect it now[00:00:57]

Go chop an oak get a birch or pine[00:01:02]

But save old slippery there that's mine[00:01:04]

That's the onliest tree my wife can't climb[00:01:05]

Mister woodman spare it for me[00:01:08]

I said to him I said woodie can you see that hole[00:01:18]

Way up near that old tree top[00:01:21]

I've got five dollars in soft money up[00:01:23]

And it's yours if you refuse to chop[00:01:25]

Now no one can climb that tree but me[00:01:29]

Because really friend it's too slippery[00:01:31]

Fact of the matter is I can't get up there very well myself[00:01:34]

Unless my wife is after me[00:01:36]

Now I'm going to go home and get my wife[00:01:40]

And proceed to call her a very naughty word[00:01:41]

And all you do is stand by[00:01:44]

While I do that imitation of a bird[00:01:46]

Now you ain't gonna know just where I go[00:01:51]

At least while my wife's around[00:01:53]

But the only thing I'm gonna ask you mister woodie[00:01:55]

Is if you don't see me here on the ground[00:01:57]

Woodman you spare that tree[00:02:01]

Touch not a single bough[00:02:04]

Because I'm gonna drop all five down to thee[00:02:05]

The one I promised thou[00:02:08]

Hoh but you must make that axe behave[00:02:12]

Because old slippery there just must be saved[00:02:14]

That's the borderline twixt me and the grave[00:02:16]

Mister woodman spare it[00:02:19]

Spare that tree[00:02:21]

For me[00:02:23]
