Lyrics Maypole - Cecile Corbel

In the woods there grew a tree
And a fine, fine tree was he
On that tree, there was a limb
On that limb, there was a branch
On that branch, there was a nest
In that nest, there was an egg
In that egg, there was a bird
From that bird, a feather came
Of that feather was a bed
On that bed there was a girl
On that girl, there was a man
From that man, there was a seed
From that seed, there was a boy
From that boy, there was a man
For that man, there was a grave
From that grave there grew
A tree
In the summerisle, summerisle, summerisle, summerisle!
On that tree, there was a limb
On that limb, there was a branch
On that branch, there was a nest
In that nest, there was an egg
In that egg, there was a bird
From that bird, a feather came
Of that feather was a bed
In the summerisle, summerisle, summerisle, summerisle!
On that bed there was a girl
On that girl, there was a man
From that man, there was a seed
From that seed, there was a boy
From that boy, there was a man
For that man, there was a grave
From that grave there grew
A tree
On that tree, there was a limb
On that limb, there was a branch
On that branch, there was a nest
In that nest, there was an egg
In that egg, there was a bird
From that bird, a feather came
Of that feather was a bed
In the summerisle, summerisle, summerisle, summerisle!
On that bed there was a girl
On that girl, there was a man
From that man, there was a seed
From that seed, there was a boy
From that boy, there was a man
For that man, there was a grave
From that grave there grew
A tree
