There was a tree (Repeat)
All in the wood (Repeat)
The prettiest little tree (Repeat)
That you ever did see (Repeat)
Oh the limb on the tree
And the tree in the wood
And the green grass grows all around,
all around
The green grass grows all around

Now on that limb (Repeat)
There was a nest (Repeat)
The prettiest little nest (Repeat)
That you ever did see (Repeat)
Oh the nest on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the wood
And the green grass grows all around,
all around
The green grass grows all around

Now in that nest (Repeat)
There were some eggs (Repeat)
The prettiest little eggs (Repeat)
That you ever did see (Repeat)
Oh the eggs in the nest
And the nest on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the wood
And the green grass
grows all around,
all around
The green grass grows
all around

Now in those
eggs (Repeat)
There were some
birds (Repeat)
The prettiest little
birds (Repeat)
That you ever did see (Repeat)
Oh the birds in the eggs
And the eggs in the nest
And the nest on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the wood
And the green grass grows all around,
all around
The green grass grows all around
And the green grass grows all around,
All around
The green grass grows all around
