Is that A-soulin as sung by Peter, Paul and Mary on "Travelling"? The one that starts off with "Hey, ho, nobody home/Meat nor drink nor money have I none/Yet I will be merry"??? And as a devout Pagan myself, singing to trees to make them bear much fruit actually seems to make sense to me *s*. Other cultures have much weirder customs...

Cat who took a LOT of Latin American History and culture courses way back when
