The Giving Tree - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]

Once there was a giving tree who loved a little boy[00:00:08]

And every day the boy would come to play[00:00:16]

Swinging from her branches sleeping in her shade[00:00:25]

Laughing all the summer hours away[00:00:34]

And so they'd love and oh the tree was happy[00:00:42]

Oh the tree was glad[00:00:50]

But soon the boy grew older[00:00:59]

And one day he came to say[00:01:02]

Can you give me some money[00:01:07]

Tree to buy some things I found[00:01:10]

I have no money said the tree[00:01:16]

Just apples twigs and leaves[00:01:20]

But you can take my apples boy[00:01:24]

And sell them in the town[00:01:28]

And so he did and oh the tree was happy[00:01:32]

Oh the tree was glad[00:01:41]

And soon again the boy came back[00:01:49]

And he said to the tree[00:01:54]

I'm now a man and I must[00:01:58]

Have a house that's all my own[00:02:01]

I can't give you a house she said[00:02:07]

The forest is my house[00:02:11]

But you may cut my branches off[00:02:15]

And build yourself a home[00:02:19]

And so he did and oh the tree was happy[00:02:23]

Oh the tree was glad[00:02:32]

And the time went by and the boy came back[00:02:44]

With sadness in his eyes[00:02:49]

My life has turned so cold he said[00:02:53]

And I need sunny days[00:02:57]

I've nothin' but my trunk she said[00:03:02]

But you may cut it down[00:03:05]

And built yourself a boat and sail away[00:03:10]

And so he did and oh the tree was happy[00:03:18]

Oh the tree was glad[00:03:27]

And after years the boy came back both of them were old[00:03:39]

I really cannot help ye if you ask another gift[00:03:47]

I'm nothin' but an old stump now[00:03:52]

I'm sorry boy she said[00:03:57]

I'm sorry but I've nothin' more to give[00:04:01]

I don't need very much now just a quiet place to rest[00:04:10]

The boy he'd whispered with a weary smile[00:04:17]

Well said the tree an old stump still is good for that[00:04:22]

Come boy she said sit down sit down and rest awhile[00:04:30]

And so he did and oh the tree was happy[00:04:42]

Oh the tree was glad[00:04:51]
