There was a tall oak tree
That loved a bubbling brook
And the bubbling brook
Loved a mountain high
And the mountain high
Loved the sky above
The Creator looked down
And saw everything was loved, loved, loved
Then He took a bone
And a piece of mud
He made a man and a woman
To be flash and blood
Then along came a devil
Up bottom the ground
He tempted woman
And that's spred sin all around
All around, all around
If she'd left that apple
On the apple tree
There'd be no tears and sorrow
We'd live eternaly
Then along came man
To burn the oak tree down
And now the bubbling brook
Is a solid ground
And the mountain high
Don't stand so high
And there's a cloud of smoke
That covers up a clear blue sky
There was a tall oak tree
There was a tall oak tree
There was a tall oak tree
