Tall Oak Tree Lyrics - Henson Cargill

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
