1
O say goodbye to the little girl tree
2
O you know that I must say goodbye
3
To the little girl tree
4
This wall I built around you
5
Is made out of stone-lies
6
O little girl the truth would be
7
An axe in thee
8
O father look to your daughter
9
Brick of grief and stricken morter
10
With this ring
11
This silver hoop of wire
12
I bind your maiden mainstem
13
Just to keep you as a child
14
O say goodbye to the little girl tree
15
O you know that I must say goodbye
16
To my little girl tree
17
How fast your candy bones
18
Reached out for me
19
I must say goodbye to your brittle bones
20
Crying out for me
21
O you know that I must say goodbye
22
O goodbye
23
Even though you will betray me
24
The very minute that I leave
25
O say goodbye to the little girl tree
26
O Lord you know that I must say goodbye
27
To that little girl tree
28
I rise up her girl-child lumps and slipping knots
29
Into her laden boughs
30
And amongst her roping limbs
31
Like a swollen neck vein branching
32
Into smaller lesser veins
33
That must all just sing and say goodbye
34
And let her blossom veils fly
35
Her velvet gown
36
Down down down
37
Down down down
38
Down down down and goodbye
39
For you know that I must say goodbye
40
To a rhythm softly tortured
41
Of a motion back and forth
42
Thats a rhythm sweetly tortured
43
O that's the rhythm of the orchard
44
And you know that I must say goodbye
45
To that little girl tree
46
O goodbye
47
Yes goodbye
48
For you know that I must die
49
Down down down
50
Down down down
51
Down down down and goodbye
52
For you know that I must die
53
Yes you know that I must die
54
O-o you know that I must die
