about

Trad., arr. Kerry Andrew and Ben See

A lovely traditional song (Roud 129) celebrating the cyclical nature of life. I learnt this from the Witches of Elswick’s recording, though it has versions all over Europe.

lyrics

All in the wood
There was a tree
The finest tree
You e'er did see
The tree was in the wood

CHORUS
And the green leaves grew around, around, around
And the green leaves grew around

And on that tree
There was a branch
The finest branch
You e'er did see
The branch was on the tree
And the tree was in the wood

CHORUS
And the green leaves grew around, around, around
And the green leaves grew around

And on that branch
There was a nest
The finest nest
You e'er did see
The nest was on the branch
The branch was on the tree
And the tree was in the wood

CHORUS
And the green leaves grew around, around, around
And the green leaves grew around

And in that nest
There was an egg
The finest egg
You e'er did see
The egg was in the nest
The nest was on the branch
The branch was on the tree
And the tree was in the wood

CHORUS
And the green leaves grew around, around, around
And the green leaves grew around

And in that egg
There was a bird
The finest bird
You e'er did see
The bird was in the egg
The egg was in the nest
The nest was on the branch
The branch was on the tree
And the tree was in the wood

CHORUS
And the green leaves grew around, around, around
And the green leaves grew around
