When I was a little kid,
not very old,
me and Susie at the top of the road,
we used to run in the garden free,
playing games around the big tree.
One afternoon, whilst we played,
we was led to the big tree shade,
and I showed her, she
She showed me lots of fun
behind the big tree.
Big tree, what do you know?
Why do you spread your
branches low?
Well, the big tree was her friend,
and the big tree knew how it would end.
Soft grass on a leafy bend,
we touched tongues and
giggled instead.
I showed her, she showed me,
but we got caught behind the big tree.
It was a neighbor who complained,
she told us both to be ashamed.
I got cuffed, Susie cried,
but we couldn't
have done nothing if we tried.
Big tree, why do you sigh?
Big tree, raise your branches high.
The big tree knows her birth
an d I've seen him tremble in the wind
Ain't it a crime or is it a sin
The bard from the garden couldn't get in
Me and Susie got nothing to hide
But I guess we'll make it in the world outside
