"I Had a Little Nut Tree"
|
|
|
|
|
1. |
I had a little nut tree, nothing would it bear,
But a silver nutmeg and a golden pear.
The king of Spain's daughter came to visit me,
And all for the sake of my little nut tree.

2. |
Her dress was all of crimson,
coal black was her hair,
She asked me for my nut tree and my golden pear.
I said, "So fair a princess never did I see,
I'll give you the fruit of my little nut tree." |
