Mary in Kentucky	looking for tree songs for radio show (67* d)	RE: looking for tree songs for radio show	14 May 05
Perhaps you can sneak in two of my favorites. (I'll use any excuse to use these melodies.) 1. The Water is Wide I leaned my back against an oak Thinking it was a trusty tree But first it bent and then it broke So did my love prove false to me 2. Turtle Dove Oh don't you see that little turtle dove In yonder mulberry tree? and a related song, The Storms are on the Ocean See that lonesome turtle dove As he flies from pine to pine. He's mourning for his own true love Just the way I mourn for mine. *************************************** How about these lyrics to Tom Dooley... This time tomorrow, reckon where I'd be In some lonesome valley, hangin' on a white oak tree Or this reference to a willow tree... There is a Tavern in the Town I'll hang my harp on the weeping willow tree, And may the world go well with thee.
