Trees
Category. Either the word "tree" or the more specific name of a type of tree.
Trees on a sand dune in Duluth. The fence in the foreground is buried in sand. Lake Superior's over the hill.

When the sun turns traitor cold
And all the trees are shivering in a naked row
Urge For Going
Joni Mitchell
Or at the bright noontide
in solitude wander
amid the dark shades of the lonely Ash grove
The Ash Grove
traditional
Oh Christmas tree
Oh Christmas tree
How lovely are your branches
Oak and ash and thorn
All on a midsummer's morn
Surely we sing of no little thing
In oak and ash and thorn
(Rudyard Kipling wrote the lyrics, and they're about traditional English songs and singers, but it isn't itself traditional.)
They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
Big Yellow Taxi
Joni Mitchell
All the birds in the forest they bitterly weep
Saying, "Where will we shelter or where will we sleep?"
For the Oak and the Ash, they are all cutten down
And the walls of bonny Portmore are all down to the ground.
Bonny Portmore
Loreena McKennitt
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
Don't sit under the apple tree
with anyone else but me
Andrews Sisters
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry merry king of the bush is he
Tie a yellow ribbon around the old Oak Tree
It's been three long years do you still want me?
Tie a Yellow Ribbon
Tony Orlando
guess you see that long white rope hanging from the hangman's tree,
Give Me Some Water
Eddie Money
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
Twelve Days of Christmas
Grow apple tree and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves
I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing
I found her diary underneath a tree,
and started reading about me,
The Diary
Bread
Your willow,
A willow,
When the sun is out.
WIllow - Joan Armatrading
We fell out about a sycamore bush
That might'o' made a tree, tree, tree
That might'o' made a tree
An American version of an English ballad called "Edward"
Lemon tree very pretty
And the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon
Is impossible to eat
Peter, Paul, and Mary
and the tree in the hole
and the hole in the ground
and the green grass grows all around.
camp song
(and from Barney, too.)
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Strange Fruit
Billie Holiday
Five little monkeys sitting in a tree
Teasing Mr Alligator "can't catch me!"
Children's song with a less-than-happy ending for the monkeys :-)
O Christmas tree
O Christmas tree
thy candles shine so brightly
O Christmas Tree
Let them hate me,
Hit me, hurt me
Nail me to their tree
JC Superstar
(I don't like Easter references at Christmas time, but y'know.... the word is tree.)
I had a little nut tree
nothing would it bear
I Had a Little Nut Tree
nursery rhyme song
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
See the tree, how big it's grown
When she planted it, was just a twig
(or something like this. . .)
Honey
Bobby Goldsboro
(this was not a song I liked but it has stuck with me. . . )
Decorations of red
On a green Christmas tree
Blue Christmas
That's the greeting that we send to you from the land where palm trees sway
Mele Kalikimaka (Hawaiian Christmas Song)
In that bog there was a tree
A rare tree, a rattlin' tree
"The Rattlin' Bog"
Heaven speed thee, poplar tree,
May thy wooing happy be.
Pirates of Penzance
DOH!! Two in a row!
(sorry)
Come down from the tree
Just open your arms and trust
You know in your heart
That one of these days you must
Come down from the tree
(Flaherty/Ahrens, from "Once On This Island")
Merry Christmas, Sandra and all the other Lyrics Game crew!
