Somebody sang this song this evening, and I loved it.
OAK TREE (Paul Kamm)
If I was an old oak tree I’d stand beside the deep blue sea Children would come and climb on me If I was an old oak tree If I was a scraggly vine I’d be happy all the time Turning water into wine If I was a scraggly vine
CHORUS: If I was a tree I’d stand beside the deep blue sea If I was a tree If I was an old oak tree
If I was the howling wind I’d bang upon your roofs of tin But the miller’s wheel would be my friend If I was the howling wind
If I was the blinding snow I’d bury everyone I know But angels in me soon would grow If I was the blinding snow CHORUS: If I was the wind The miller’s wheel would be my friend If I was the wind If I was the howling wind
If I was a gambling man I’d hide the aces in my hand Many things I’d understand If I was a gambling man
If I was the highest hill Way up there you’d feel a chill But when you’re gone I’ll be here still If I was the highest hill
CHORUS: If I was a man Many things I’d understand If I was a man If I was a gambling man If I was a tree I’d stand beside the deep blue sea If I was a tree If I was an old oak tree If I was an old oak tree
