"Big Tree" Sangtekst

When I was a little kid and not very old
Me and Susie at the top of the road
Used to run in a garden free
Playing games around a big tree

One afternoon, whilst we played
We was led to the big tree's shade
I showed her, she showed me
Lots of fun behind a big tree

Big tree, what do you know
And why do you spread your branches low?
Oh, the big tree was our friend
And the big tree knew how it would end

There was soft grass and a leafy bed
So we touched tongues and giggled instead
I showed her, she showed me
But we got caught behind a big tree

'Cause it was a neighbour who complained
And she told us both to be ashamed
I got cuffed, Susie cried
But we couldn't've done nothing if we tried

Big tree, why do you sigh?
Come on and raise your branches high
Big tree knows everything
Look at him tremble in the wind

Well, ain't it a crime or is it a sin?
We was barred from the garden and we couldn't get in
Me and Susie with nothing to hide
But I guess we'll make it in the world outside

Oh, big tree, why do you sigh?
Come on and raise your branches high
Well, the big tree knows everything
Look at him tremble, look at him tremble
Look at him tremble in the wind
