Ol' Branch

(альбом: Have You Heard - 1977)

Just an ol' branch
That fell from the tree
Just a broken ol' branch
Trying to be free

A farmer took ol' branch
And he made him a plough
He ploughed up the ground
And he planted some corn
But corn's not the fruit
From which branch was born

Just an ol' branch
That fell from the tree
Just a goofy ol' branch
That tried to be free

A man took ol' branch
And he built him a house
He made him a chair
And he made him a bed
But a bed ain't the lady
To which branch was wed

Just an ol' branch
That fell from the tree
Just a broken ol' stick
That tried to be free

A man took ol' branch
Gonna build him a fire
He said, this ol' branch
Looks dead to me
But God loved ol' branch
So He reached down
Put him back on the tree

Just an ol' branch
Trying to be free
