Tree Ballad 27 ¾
Cherie Ganote
Once upon a time
There was a tree
Though not always this way
He came to be
A long time ago
When he was young
He had a large family
That he refused to love
They were all so selfish
And so very loud
He thought them ridiculous beings
For he was very proud
The boy grew into a man
And as he grew he came to see
That almost everyone he knew
Were ridiculous beings
A woman approached him
One sunny day
Grabbed him by the hand
And showed him the way
From that day on
They were to be together
Until she cast a horrible spell
That she said would last forever
The spell gave him a trunk
Some limbs, and lots of leaves
He regrets what he has done
Forever he shall grieve
Cherie
