《Woodman， Spare That Tree》歌词

[00:00:00] Woodman, Spare That Tree - Phil Harris

[00:00:09] There is a tree grows near our house

[00:00:11] It's been there quite some time

[00:00:12] Now the tree is a slippery elm tree

[00:00:15] And awful hard to climb

[00:00:19] But when my wife gets after me

[00:00:21] In that tree I always roost

[00:00:23] Why I can go right up it just like a healthy squirrel

[00:00:25] I don't never need no boost

[00:00:30] But the other day a woodman came round

[00:00:32] To chop my refuge down

[00:00:34] Kept mumbling something about wanting to split it into kindling wood

[00:00:36] And then spreading it round the town

[00:00:40] I said to him I said look here my friend

[00:00:42] Hold on desist whoa stop

[00:00:45] Put down that forest razor

[00:00:47] Chop not a single chop

[00:00:51] Woodman woodman spare that tree

[00:00:53] Touch not a single bough

[00:00:55] Three years it has protected me

[00:00:57] And I'll protect it now

[00:01:02] Go chop an oak get a birch or pine

[00:01:04] But save old slippery there that's mine

[00:01:05] That's the onliest tree my wife can't climb

[00:01:08] Mister woodman spare it for me

[00:01:18] I said to him I said woodie can you see that hole

[00:01:21] Way up near that old tree top

[00:01:23] I've got five dollars in soft money up

[00:01:25] And it's yours if you refuse to chop

[00:01:29] Now no one can climb that tree but me

[00:01:31] Because really friend it's too slippery

[00:01:34] Fact of the matter is I can't get up there very well myself

[00:01:36] Unless my wife is after me

[00:01:40] Now I'm going to go home and get my wife

[00:01:41] And proceed to call her a very naughty word

[00:01:44] And all you do is stand by

[00:01:46] While I do that imitation of a bird

[00:01:51] Now you ain't gonna know just where I go

[00:01:53] At least while my wife's around

[00:01:55] But the only thing I'm gonna ask you mister woodie

[00:01:57] Is if you don't see me here on the ground

[00:02:01] Woodman you spare that tree

[00:02:04] Touch not a single bough

[00:02:05] Because I'm gonna drop all five down to thee

[00:02:08] The one I promised thou

[00:02:12] Hoh but you must make that axe behave

[00:02:14] Because old slippery there just must be saved

[00:02:16] That's the borderline twixt me and the grave

[00:02:19] Mister woodman spare it

[00:02:21] Spare that tree

[00:02:23] For me
