Girl Sittin' Up In A Tree

(album: Burl's Choice - 1966)

On my way the other day a strange thing happened to me
I blinked my eye and what did I spy but a girl sitting up in a tree

I said come on down cause now you're found
There's no one around and it's nice on the ground

She said I like it up here cause the air is clear
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing, clouds caressing
Branches clinging to me-ee-ee

I said come on down out of that tree

Leaves made lace around her face peeking down at me
I wondered why she'd climb so high right up in the top of that tree

I said come on down cause now you're found
And there's no one around and it's nice on the ground

She said I like it up here cause the air is clear
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing, clouds caressing
Branches clinging to me-ee-ee

I said come on down out of that tree

Darkness fell I fell as well when I heard her sweet call to me
Right then I knew what I had to do I started climbing up in that tree

And now I found I don't want to get down
I don't miss the ground while she's around

We're way up here where the air is clear
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
Crickets calling breeze hushing stars blinking
Moon waking nightingale singing and we-ee-ee

Have a heaven up in this treehouse in this tree
